GDB Manual section 18.5.1

GDB Manual section 18.5.1

[Nick Savoiu via gdb]

The above mention section mentions that one can issue commands such as
  set index-cache on
to control index caching. I'm using GDB 8.2.1 (the latest version released) but this command errors out
  Reading symbols from a.out...done.
  (gdb) set index-cache on
  No symbol "index" in current context.
  (gdb)            

Using 'help set' also does not seem to list index-cache.
Am I doing something wrong or is the documentation out of sync?
Thanks,Nick

Hi,

If you're using the online documentation, it is generated from the git
master branch.  I can use the "set index-cache" command on master, but
it's not available for 8.2.1.

Thanks,

 Yes, it was the online documentation
  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Index-Files.html
When do you expect it to be pushed into the release?
Thanks,Nick

GDB 8.3 is being prepared as we speak.  I think it should be release in
the next couple of weeks.  If you really need the feature, you can try
compiling GDB by hand.  Let me know if you need help with that.

Thanks,
