From 12f567bcb640285b0afab74e2ac8d471a175722d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guinevere Larsen Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2023 14:06:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gdb/cli: fixes to newly added "list ." command After the series that added this command was pushed, Pedro mentioned that the news description could easily be misinterpreted, as well as some code and test improvements that should be made. While fixing the test, I realized that code repetition wasn't happening as it should, so I took care of that too.
