             Bug #: 14639
           Summary: gdb.parameter doesn't flag ambiguous parameter

           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dje@google.com

(gdb) py import gdb
(gdb) set print sym on
Ambiguous set print command "sym on": symbol, symbol-filename.
(gdb) py print gdb.parameter("print sym")
False
(gdb) 


Code that needs to work with multiple gdb versions should be able to rely on
gdb.parameter raising an exception if setting that parameter is an error.
