From 60c0454d3dda99635d331f6002f3f04fe34546a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2018 09:08:56 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Document that Frame.block can throw PR python/16484 points out that Frame.block can throw an exception, but this is not documented. This patch fixes the documentation. Changing Frame.block to return None would be nice, but I suspect it's too late for that change. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2018-09-10 Tom Tromey PR python/16484: * python.texi (Frames In Python): Document that Frame.block can throw. --- gdb/doc/ChangeLog | 6 ++++++ gdb/doc/python.texi | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gdb/doc/ChangeLog b/gdb/doc/ChangeLog index f266f75b591..22987d2defe 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/doc/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +2018-09-10 Tom Tromey + + PR python/16484: + * python.texi (Frames In Python): Document that Frame.block can + throw. + 2018-09-10 Tom Tromey PR python/23487: diff --git a/gdb/doc/python.texi b/gdb/doc/python.texi index 86a91110e0e..e1b79cc30b2 100644 --- a/gdb/doc/python.texi +++ b/gdb/doc/python.texi @@ -4321,7 +4321,10 @@ Returns the frame's resume address. @end defun @defun Frame.block () -Return the frame's code block. @xref{Blocks In Python}. +Return the frame's code block. @xref{Blocks In Python}.
