Subject: [patch][doc] PR python/10781
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:35:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AD82247.3070503@redhat.com> (raw)

On irc,  Michael Lyle noticed that Value.cast was not documented in GDB 
7.0, but the method was available for use. Tom wrote this documentation 
sometime ago, and it got missed on the merge. This patch fixes this.

OK?

Cheers,

Phil
