Fix valgrind error from gdb.decode_line
PR symtab/12535 points out that gdb.decode_line("") will cause a valgrind report. I think the empty linespec does not really make sense. So, this patch changes gdb.decode_line to treat a whitespace-only linespec the same as a non-existing argument. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-01-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/12535: * python/python.c (gdbpy_decode_line): Treat empty string the same as no argument. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2020-01-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/12535: * gdb.python/python.exp: Test decode_line with empty string argument.
