Baurjan, I really appologise here, but people should have known better than to request that you also make cosmetic changes such as switching from this: > @@ -1583,11 +1588,13 @@ _initialize_alpha_tdep (void) > because the user can always use "999999" or some such for unlimited. */ > c = add_set_cmd ("heuristic-fence-post", class_support, var_zinteger, > (char *) &heuristic_fence_post, > - "\ > -Set the distance searched for the start of a function.\n\ > -If you are debugging a stripped executable, GDB needs to search through the\n\ > -program for the start of a function.
