2003-08-09 Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com> Fix GDB PR cli/926. * cli/cli-decode.c (add_setshow_uinteger_cmd): New function. * command.h (add_setshow_uinteger_cmd): Declare. * frame.c (set_backtrace_cmd): New function. (show_backtrace_cmd): New function. * frame.c (_initialize_frame): Replace "set/show backtrace-below-main" with "set/show backtrace past-main". Add command "set/show backtrace limit". (backtrace_past_main): Rename "backtrace_below_main". (backtrace_limit): New variable. (get_prev_frame): Update. Check the backtrace_limit. 2003-08-09 Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Backtrace): Replace "set/show backtrace-below-main" with "set/show backtrace past-main" and "set/show backtrace limit".
