Before the changes starting at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00020.html>, the 'set
listsize' command only accepted "0" as special value, meaning
"unlimited". The testsuite actually tried "set listsize -1" and
expected that to mean unlimited too.
If you tried testing list.exp at the time of that patch above,
you'd get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: list line 10 with listsize 100
set listsize 0
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: setting listsize to 0 #6
show listsize
Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: show listsize unlimited #6
list 1
1 #include "list0.h"
2
...
42 /* Not used for anything */
43 }
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: listsize of 0 suppresses output
set listsize -1
integer
4294967295 out of range
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: setting listsize to -1 #7
show listsize
Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: show listsize unlimited #7
list 1
1 #include "list0.h"
Notice that "set listsize -1" actually failed with "integer
4294967295
out of range", but we issued a PASS anyway.
(and notice how the "listsize of 0 suppresses output" test passes bogusly too.)
This patch fixes that testsuite problem in the obvious way.

* gdb.base/list.exp (set_listsize): Use gdb_test_no_output for
"set listsize".
