python: Make gdb.execute("show commands") work (PR 23669)
Since commit
56bcdbea2bed ("Let gdb.execute handle multi-line commands")
trying to use a command like gdb.execute("show commands") in Python
fails. GDB ends up trying to run the "commands" command.
The reason is that GDB gets confused with the special "commands"
command. In process_next_line, the lookup_cmd_1 function returns the
cmd_list_element representing the "commands" sub-command of "show".
Lower, we check the cmd_list_element to see if it matches various
control commands by name, including the "commands" command. This is
where we wrongfully conclude that the executed command must be
"commands", when in reality it was "show commands".
The fix proposed in this patch removes the comparisons by name, instead
comparing the cmd_list_element object by pointer with the objects
created at initialization time.
Tested on the buildbot, though on a single builder (Fedora-x86_64-m64).
