	     * source.c: Various cosmetic changes.
	     (forward_search_command): Handle very long source lines correctly.

a buffer with a hard limit was converted to a heap buffer:

  +    p = buf;

However, reverse_search_command has the exact same problem, and that
wasn't fixed.  We still have that "we walk right off" comment...

Recently, the xmalloc above was replaced with a xrealloc, because as
can be seen above, that 'buf' variable above was a static local,
otherwise we'd be leaking.  This commit replaces that and the
associated manual buffer growing with a gdb::def_vector<char>.  I
don't think there's much point in reusing the buffer across command
invocations.

While doing this, I realized that reverse_search_command is almost
identical to forward_search_command.  So this commit factors out a
common helper function instead of duplicating a lot of code.

There are some tests for "forward-search" in gdb.base/list.exp, but
since they use the "search" alias, they were a bit harder to find than
expected.  That's now fixed, both by testing both variants, and by
adding some commentary.  Also, there are no tests for the
"reverse-search" command, so this commit adds some for that too.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-12-08  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* source.c (forward_search_command): Rename to ...
	(search_command_helper): ... this.  Add 'forward' parameter.
	Tweak to use a gdb::def_vector<char> instead of a xrealloc'ed
	buffer.  Handle backward searches too.
	(forward_search_command, reverse_search_command): Reimplement by
	calling search_command_helper.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-12-08  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/list.exp (test_forward_search): Rename to ...
	(test_forward_reverse_search): ... this.  Also test reverse-search
	and the forward-search alias.
