+;; Backport potential fix for RH BZ 2257562.
+
+Fix printing of global variable stubs if no inferior is running
+
+Since 3c45e9f915ae4aeab7312d6fc55a947859057572 gdb crashes when trying
+to print a global variable stub without a running inferior, because of
+a missing nullptr-check (the block_scope function took care of that
+check before it was converted to a method).
+
+With this check it works again:
+```
+(gdb) print s
+$1 = <incomplete type>
+```
+
