             Bug #: 15117
           Summary: gdb should handle break foo.c:$conv_var better
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: breakpoints
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dje@google.com
    Classification: Unclassified


(gdb) set $main_lineno = 6
(gdb) b hello.c:$main_lineno
Undefined convenience variable or function "$main_lineno" not defined in
"hello.c".
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n

gdb knows it has a convenience variable, seems like it should have done the
expected thing.
At the very least a better error message is warranted. :-)
