Like the previous commit, I discovered that in micmdpy_set_installed
we were calling PyObject_IsTrue, but not checking for a possible error
value being returned.
The micmdpy_set_installed function implements the
gdb.MICommand.installed attribute, and the documentation indicates that
this attribute should only be assigned a bool:
This attribute is read-write, setting this attribute to 'False'
will uninstall the command, removing it from the set of available
commands. Setting this attribute to 'True' will install the
command for use.
So I propose that instead of using PyObject_IsTrue we use
PyBool_Check, and if the new value fails this check we raise an
error. We can then compare the new value to Py_True directly instead
of calling PyObject_IsTrue.
This is a potentially breaking change to the Python API, but hopefully
this will not impact too many people, and the fix is pretty
easy (switch to using a bool). I've added a NEWS entry to draw
attention to this change.
