[patch] fix for checking the command ambiguousness.

[patch] fix for checking the command ambiguousness.

[Muhammad Bilal]

Hi,

While I was looking the code of 'lookup_cmd_composition' function, I saw
there incorrect command ambiguousness checking.
Actually  'find_cmd' function does not return the CMD_LIST_AMBIGUOUS
macro, whereas  'lookup_cmd_1' function return this macro on the bases 
of 'nfound'
variable and 'nfound' variable determines the command ambiguousness.

So, checking the command  ambiguousness condition with 'nfound' variables
fixes the bug.

OK?

Is it possible to construct a testcase that triggers this?

yes, I found a test case to triggers this.

Before apply the patch, GDB does not recognize the command ambiguity as.

(gdb) python gdb.parameter("print symbo on")
(gdb) show print symbo
Ambiguous show print command "symbo": symbol, symbol-filename.
(gdb)




And after applied my patch GBD shows.

(gdb) python gdb.parameter("print symbo on")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Could not find parameter `print symbo on'.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb) set print symbo
Ambiguous set print command "symbo": symbol, symbol-filename.
(gdb)


Now
Find below updated patch with test suite also.

Hi!

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble applying your patches.  Seems like
they're mangled somehow (line wrapped, etc.).  From your email's headers
I see you're using Thunderbird.  Could you please go through:

 http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#Submitting_patches

and fix it up as necessary (and then check if you can apply
a patch that you privately send yourself?)

Thanks,

As the test uses Python stuff to expose the bug, I'd appreciate
it if a Python person took a look.

Is this only triggerable with Python?  If so, why?

I looked, and there aren't many callers of lookup_cmd_composition:
maintenance_do_deprecate, deprecated_cmd_warning, and gdbpy_parameter.
The last one is the path the test case takes.
