Description Jan Kratochvil 2011-10-27 14:05:27 UTC 
$ ./gdb -nx ./gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3.50.20111027-cvs
(gdb) python gdb.lookup_symbol("gdb_stdin")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
gdb.error: No frame selected.
Error while executing Python code.

But `gdb_stdin' is a global variable, there is no need for any frame.

I recently ran into this -- looks like the patch never landed?
Comment 3 Tom Tromey 2019-07-01 18:50:34 UTC 
There was some problem with the patch IIRC.
I don't recall what, you'd have to check the archives.
Perhaps it can be resurrected.
