Hello,

I have a question regarding this patch, which was committed at the end of June,
wouldn't GDB let the user know, one way or an other, that there was
something wrong happened ?

when you run a command, and see to "warning/error" message, you expect
that everything went right, but that's not true when this flag is set,
is it?

I don't know if Python allows to do it, but i think it would be nice
to see something like:

> NameError: global name 'comp' is not define

which is the last line of a python stacktrace

Thanks,

Kevin
