Subject: Fix double apropos output when both alias name and command name match the pattern
Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 18:37:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531163756.781643-1-philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> (raw)

apropos_cmd first tries to match the command name with the pattern.
If that succeeds, it prints the command and all its aliases not having
a specific doc string.
In this case, it should not try to match the command aliases names as
the command has already been printed.

Without this patch, the behaviour is:
(gdb) alias ter-exec = interpreter-exec
(gdb) apropos er-exe
interpreter-exec, ter-exec -- Execute a command in an interpreter.
interpreter-exec, ter-exec -- Execute a command in an interpreter.
(gdb)
