-var-create - @ var1 - where is '@' documented??

-var-create - @ var1 - where is '@' documented??

[Bogdan Slusarczyk]

Hi, can anybody tell me where I can find documentation for this syntax:
-var-create - *@* var1
Docs from http://sourceware.org/gdb/download/onlinedocs/ and from 
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/download/onlinedocs/gdb.html don't have 
any mention about this feature. I suppose gdb has many undocumented 
features, similar to above mentioned. Where I can find more accurate 
documentation?

Regards,
Bogdan

I'm sorry to sound trite, but if they were documented somewhere else,
they wouldn't be called "undocumented".  I think this is simply a bug
in the manual.

I didn't find it's documented, I just simple read in previous topic that 
something like -var-create - @ exists. I want to find what it does 
exactly, but I cannot find anything about it :( by the way I noticed 
that it does what I've looked for :)

I just posted some draft documentation (which also clarifies the
behavior of "*"-frame varobjs) to gdb-patches:
