Subject: [PATCH 0/3] More use of GNU-style metasyntactic variables
Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2018 02:55:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180915025522.18723-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
I noticed a few spots where gdb was not using GNU-style metasyntactic
variables. This fixes nearly all the places I found -- the only
exception being MI. I would have converted MI, out of a sense of
consistency, but I was unsure if this was advisable.
Regression tested by the buildbot.
I think it would be good to check that new patches use the GNU style
here. There is some text in the standards manual, but mostly it boils
down to using all caps rather than <> or $ or whatever:
yes: Usage: command ARG ARG
no: Usage: command <arg> $arg
