Fix PR python/17981
PR python/17981 notes that gdb.breakpoints() returns None when there are no breakpoints; whereas an empty list or tuple would be more in keeping with Python and the documentation. This patch fixes the bug by changing the no-breakpoint return to make an empty tuple. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23. 2016-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR python/17981: * python/py-breakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoints): Return a new tuple when there are no breakpoints. 2016-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * python.texi (Basic Python): Document gdb.breakpoints return. 2016-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR python/17981: * gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp (test_bkpt_basic): Add test for no-breakpoint case.
