gdb: don't show deprecated aliases
I don't think it's very useful to show deprecated aliases to the
user. It encourages the user to use them, when the goal is the
opposite.
For example, before:
(gdb) help set index-cache enabled
set index-cache enabled, set index-cache off, set index-cache on
alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
(gdb) help set index-cache on
Warning: 'set index-cache on', an alias for the command 'set index-cache enabled', is deprecated.
Use 'set index-cache enabled on'.
set index-cache enabled, set index-cache off, set index-cache on
alias set index-cache off = set index-cache enabled off
alias set index-cache on = set index-cache enabled on
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
After:
(gdb) help set index-cache enabled
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
(gdb) help set index-cache on
Warning: 'set index-cache on', an alias for the command 'set index-cache enabled', is deprecated.
Use 'set index-cache enabled on'.
Enable the index cache.
When on, enable the use of the index cache.
