[PATCH 0/2] prevent gdb.Frame/Objfile and other types to be instanciated

[Sanimir Agovic <sanimir dot agovic at intel dot com>]

Hello,

as discussed in http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00848.html
the gdb/python interface exposes types which should not be instanciated
directly by python code. This patch now raising a TypeError if one instanciate
such type.

Test results:

$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--directory=gdb.python"

                === gdb tests ===
