[PATCH 1/6] list.exp: Catch "set listsize" failures (and "set listsize -1/0"'s history).


As mentioned in the intro, before the changes starting at
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00020.html, the 'set
listsize' command only accepted "0" as special value, meaning
"unlimited".  The testsuite actually tried "set listsize -1" and
expected that to mean unlimited too.

If you tried testing list.exp at the time of that patch above,
you'd get:

  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: list line 10 with listsize 100
  set listsize 0
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: setting listsize to 0 #6
  show listsize
  Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited.
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: show listsize unlimited #6
  list 1
  1       #include "list0.h"
  2
  ...
  42          /* Not used for anything */
  43      }
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: listsize of 0 suppresses output
  set listsize -1
  integer 4294967295 out of range
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: setting listsize to -1 #7
  show listsize
  Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited.
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/list.exp: show listsize unlimited #7
  list 1
  1       #include "list0.h"

Notice that "set listsize -1" actually failed with "integer 4294967295
out of range", but we issued a PASS anyway.

This patch fixes that testsuite problem in the obvious way.

	* gdb.base/list.exp (set_listsize): Use gdb_test_no_output for
	"set listsize".
