[Debugging output] Make remote packet truncation length adjustable
While debugging, i felt the need to adjust the truncation length of remote packets so i could see more or less data as needed. The default is currently set to 512 bytes. This patch makes this option adjustable through the new "set debug remote-packet-max-chars" command. It can be set to unlimited if we want to completely disable truncation. Update on v5: - Adjusted function and variable documentation, NEWS entry and GDB manual. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-11-25 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * NEWS (New Commands): Mention "set debug remote-packet-max-chars". * remote.c (REMOTE_DEBUG_MAX_CHAR): Remove. (remote_packet_max_chars): New static global. (show_remote_packet_max_chars): New function. (remote_target::putpkt_binary): Adjust to use new remote_packet_max_chars option. (remote_target::getpkt_or_notif_sane_1): Likewise. (_initialize_remote): Register new remote-packet-max-chars option. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2019-11-25 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * gdb.texinfo (Debugging Output): Document set debug remote-packet-max-chars.
