            Bug ID: 21122
           Summary: Documentation mistakes for breakpoint-related commands
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: martingalvan at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The current documentation states the following:

"Some gdb commands accept a range of breakpoints on which to operate. A
breakpoint range is either a single breakpoint number, like ‘5’, or two such
numbers, in increasing order, separated by a hyphen, like ‘5-7’. When a
breakpoint range is given to a command, all breakpoints in that range are
operated on."

However, this fails to mention that ranges can also be specified as
space-separated lists of breakpoint numbers, like '5 6 7'.

On a related issue, 'help commands' seems to imply that the 'commands' command
can only be applied to a single breakpoint at the time:

(gdb) help commands
Set commands to be executed when a breakpoint is hit.
Give breakpoint number as argument after "commands".
