Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] python: Fix erroneous doc about gdb.objfiles()
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 02:37:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180913023627.18855-3-simon.marchi@ericsson.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180913023627.18855-1-simon.marchi@ericsson.com>

New in v2: updated the text.

The code implementing gdb.objfiles() returns a list of objfiles for the
current program space (the program space of the selected inferior).  The
documentation for the gdb.objfiles() Python method, however, states:

    Return a sequence of all the objfiles current known to GDB.

That sounds wrong to me.  I tried to phrase to be more precise.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* python.texi (Objfiles In Python): Update gdb.objfiles() doc.
