Subject: MI: -var-list-children doc error
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ed4903890906171007m263a6da8y7268f49db929e44f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The documentation for -var-list-children does not match what Cygwin
GDB produces, or Eclipse DSF expects.

The documentation for -var-list-children is here:

   http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_26.html#SEC449

Which shows:

  -var-list-children n
  ^done,numchild=n,children=[{name=name,
numchild=n,type=type},(repeats N times)]

Here is example GDB/MI output:

  21-var-list-children var1
  21^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="var1.public",exp="public",numchild="2"}]

Notice the "child=" is present in actual implementations, but is
missing from the documentation.  Also the Cygwin GDB output shows an
"exp" result in the child definition.  This is not documented either.
