The help message of the "frame" command states that nothing is printed
if the command is executed from the command file or user-defined
command. My testing leads me to think that this is not true (at least
today).
(gdb) bt
#0 bar (n=17) at test.c:9
#1 0x00000000004006e0 in foo (v=17) at test.c:13
#2 0x00000000004006f0 in main () at test.c:21
(gdb) frame
#0 bar (n=17) at test.c:9
9 baz(n);
(gdb) define foo
Type commands for definition of "foo".
End with a line saying just "end".
>frame 1
>end
(gdb) foo
#1 0x00000000004006e0 in foo (v=17) at test.c:13
13 bar(v);
This patch simply removes that bit from the help message. I didn't find
anything corresponding to this in the documentation that needs to be
fixed.
The behavior change corresponding to this documentation change was done
in commit
b00771232fab861fb31e42dfd5f6643ba1b43cc9.
