Bug ID: 23487
Summary: [Documentation] online manual gives wrong syntax for
pretty printers
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: python
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: edaskel at att dot net
Target Milestone: ---

As reflected in "help", the correct syntax for the name-regexp option to "info
pretty-printer" and "disable pretty-printer" for an individual printer is:

printer-name;subprinter-name

The online manual shows this separator as a colon ":" instead. See
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Pretty_002dPrinter-Commands.html

Per tromey request I have filed this under Python.
