Add completion styling
Readline has a styling feature for completion -- if it is enabled, the common prefix of completions will be displayed in a different style. This doesn't work in gdb, because gdb implements its own completer. This patch implements the feature. However, it doesn't directly use the Readline feature, because gdb can do a bit better: it can let the user control the styling using the existing mechanisms. This version incorporates an Emacs idea, via Eli: style the prefix, the "difference character", and the suffix differently. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * NEWS: Add entry for completion styling. * completer.c (_rl_completion_prefix_display_length): Move declaration earlier. (gdb_fnprint): Use completion_style. (gdb_display_match_list_1): Likewise. * cli/cli-style.c (completion_prefix_style) (completion_difference_style, completion_suffix_style): New globals. (_initialize_cli_style): Register new globals. * cli/cli-style.h (completion_prefix_style) (completion_difference_style, completion_suffix_style): Declare. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2020-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * gdb.texinfo (Output Styling): Mention completion styling. (Editing): Mention readline completion styling. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2020-05-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * gdb.base/style.exp: Add completion styling test. * lib/gdb-utils.exp (style): Add completion styles.
