Bug ID: 16930
Summary: find command end_address confusion, plus error message
could be clearer
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dje at google dot com
The help text for the find command doesn't say whether the end address for the
find command is included in the range. IOW, is the range [start,end] or
[start,end)? It's [start,end], the help text should make this clear.
Plus, evidently (reported on IRC), if one thinks it's [start,end), and end is
inaccessible memory then the error message says "unable to access target
memory", but it's not straightforward for the user to see what the problem is
since the start address is clearly correct. Can the error message report the
attempted range?
