Make "info threads" use the gdb::option framework
This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process options. There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output. Still, this was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it. The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable: (gdb) info threads [TAB] -gid ID (gdb) help info threads Display currently known threads. Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]... Options: -gid Show global thread IDs. If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display. Otherwise, all threads are displayed. (gdb) gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-07-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS (Completion improvements): Mention "info threads". * thread.c (struct info_threads_opts, info_threads_option_defs) (make_info_threads_options_def_group): New. (info_threads_command): Use gdb::option::process_options. (info_threads_command_completer): New. (_initialize_thread): Use gdb::option::build_help to build the help text for "info threads". gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-07-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/options.exp (test-info-threads): New procedure. (top level): Call it.
