            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?
