Hi Sergio.

thank you for your reply.

After reading your reply I got doubts about whether I remembered the behavior
of the previous version of GDB correctly. However I was pretty sure that the
variable "word" was containing the content I was expecting.

Luckily, I did not clean pacman's cache so I was able to down-grade gdb to
7.8.2 to test the behavior of that version. To me, it looks that this version's
behavior is in-line with what is described in the documentation.

Test:

  $ gdb --version
  GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8.2
  [..]

  $ gdb -x /tmp/test.py
  (gdb) bug-test text: ''; word ''
  text: ''; word '' 
  text: ''; word ''

  (gdb) bug-test abc deftext: 'abc def'; word 'def'
  text: 'abc def'; word 'def'
  text: 'abc def'; word 'def'
  text: 'abc def'; word 'def'

as the cursor is at the end of "def" while the rest of the argument is in text,
this looks like the correct behavior.

Do you agree?

Still, my expectations were clearly wrong, as I was expecting text to contain
the whole command, while word to contain the arguments. Anyway, I currently not
100% sure what the correct behavior should be, but clearly it changed between
7.8 and 7.9 :)

Thanks.
A.
