Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited".
"show" knows when to print "unlimited":
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45.
(gdb) set height 0
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited.
However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly:
(gdb) set height unlimited
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb)
This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all
integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal
"unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on
symbols by default, and at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've
shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these
commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than
justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a
variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still
work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This
patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and
nothing else. This simplification means that
"set he<tab><tab>"
is all it takes to get to:
"set height unlimited"
The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited
commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual
to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the
cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it.
I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is
suggested before "0" or "-1" is.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

Gareth mentions in PR gdb/15275:
"The MI '-gdb-exit' command mi_cmd_gdb_exit() never calls disconnect_tracing()
and therefore exits correctly."
It should, so to get out of tfind mode, as quit may detach instead of
kill, and we don't want to confuse the memory/register accesses
etc. of the detach process. So we should push down the disconnect
tracing bits at least to quit_force. But we can't as is, as that
would swallow the error thrown by answering "no" to:
Trace is running but will stop on detach; detach anyway? (y or n)
So to address that, we split disconnect_tracing in two. One part that
does the query, and another part that does the rest, and we make
quit_force call the latter.
Looking at quit_force, it does several things, some of which are a bit
independent of the others. It first kills/detaches, and then writes
history, and then runs the final cleanups. It seems better to me to
do each of these things even if the previous thing throws. E.g., as
is, if something throws while detaching, then we skip writing history.

If !PARSE_CONDITION_AND_THREAD, then ARG is just the location, nothing
else. The fact that the describing comment of create_breakpoint
doesn't mention this just looks like an oversight of when extra_string
was added. "parse_condition_and_thread" has been a misnomer ever
since extra_string was added -- better rename it avoid more confusion.
This makes it "parse_arg", as that'll remain stable even if/when more
explicit parameters are added.
