This is usually desirable, but if the user can no longer see the original line, they may have forgotten the current line or that a list command was used at all, making GDB's error message look cryptic. It was reported in bugzilla as PR cli/30497. This commit improves the user experience by changing the behavior of "list" slightly when a user passes no arguments. It now prints that the end of the file has been reached and recommends that the user use the command "list ." instead.
