UNWIND_NULL_ID is no longer used anywhere. Update comments.
Unfortunately, UNWIND_NULL_ID is exported to Python as gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID so we can't really eliminate it. (I'd assume scripts just check the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason, and compare it to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NO_REASON. That at most, they'll pass the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason to gdb.frame_stop_reason_string. I'd prefer to just get rid of it, but because we make an API promise, we get to keep this around for compatibility, in case a script does refer to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID directly.) gdb/ 2013-11-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * unwind_stop_reasons.def (UNWIND_NULL_ID): Update comment. gdb/doc/ 2013-11-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Frames In Python) <gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID>: Update comment.
