Currently, the breakpoint documentation refers to some commands taking breakpoint
"ranges" as arguments. We discussed this with Pedro and concluded that it would
be more accurate to speak in terms of breakpoint "lists", whose elements can optionally
be ranges. I also fixed a couple of minor mistakes in the docs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Update the help description
of the 'commands' command to indicate that it takes a list argument.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Breakpoints): Reword documentation to speak in terms of
space-separated breakpoint lists. Also add a missing @table command
and @cindex for breakpoint lists.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/help.exp: Update match pattern for testing 'help commands'.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch adds documentation for explicit locations to both the
User Manual and gdb's online help system.

[BREAK_ARGS_HELP]: Use LOCATION_HELP_STRING.
(_initialize_breakpoint): Update documentation for
"clear", "break", "trace", "strace", "ftrace", and "dprintf".
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Thread-Specific Breakpoints, Printing Source Lines):
Use "location(s)"instead of "linespec(s)".
(Specifying a Location): Rewrite.
Add subsections describing linespec, address, and explicit locations.
Add node/menu for each subsection.
(Source and Machine Code, C Preprocessor Macros)
(Create and Delete Trace points)

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

to the child process, enable event reporting on it. Don't handle
checkpoints here. Instead, add the child fork to the lwp thread
and inferior lists without clobbering the previous inferior. Let
the thread_db layer learn about a new child process, even if
following the parent.

instead of clearing the whole list. Use thread_change_ptid to
give the core the illusion the new checkpoint is still the same

checkpointing, and use make_cleanup_restore_integer to restore it.
Don't reinsert breakpoints here.
