+
+ Implement auto-load user conveniences suggested by Doug Evans.
+ * auto-load.c: Include top.h.
+ (file_is_auto_load_safe): New variable advice_printed. Print advice.
+ (_initialize_auto_load): New variable scripts_directory_help. Mention
+ GDBPY_AUTO_FILE_NAME and GDB_AUTO_FILE_NAME for set auto-load
+ scripts-directory. Document in online help one can use also files for
+ set auto-load safe-path.
+ * python/py-auto-load.c: (GDBPY_AUTO_FILE_NAME): Move it from here ...
+ * python/python.h (GDBPY_AUTO_FILE_NAME): ... to here.

* tic6x-tdep.c (tic6x_push_dummy_call): Remove unused definition
