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. Change-Id: I989b618a5ad96ba975367e9d16db95523cd57a4c
