Make first and last lines of 'command help documentation' consistent.
With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-08-07 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* cli/cli-decode.h (print_doc_line): Add for_value_prefix argument.
* cli/cli-decode.c (print_doc_line): Likewise. It now prints
the full first line, except when FOR_VALUE_PREFIX. In this case,
the trailing '.' is not output, and the first character is uppercased.
(print_help_for_command): Update call to print_doc_line.
(print_doc_of_command): Likewise.
* cli/cli-setshow.c (deprecated_show_value_hack): Likewise.
* cli/cli-option.c (append_indented_doc): Do not append newline.
(build_help_option): Append newline after first appended_indented_doc
only if a second call is done.
(build_help): Append 2 new lines before each option, except the first
one.
* compile/compile.c (_initialize_compile): Add new lines after
%OPTIONS%, when not at the end of the help.
Change help doc or code
producing the help doc to respect the invariants.
* maint-test-options.c (_initialize_maint_test_options): Likewise.
Also removed the new line after 'Options:', as all other commands
do not put an empty line between 'Options:' and the first option.
* printcmd.c (_initialize_printcmd): Likewise.
* stack.c (_initialize_stack): Likewise.
* interps.c (interpreter_exec_cmd): Fix "Usage:" line that was
incorrectly telling COMMAND is optional.

producing the help doc to respect the invariants.
* ada-tasks.c (_initialize_ada_tasks): Likewise.
* breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Likewise.
