Introduce class completion_tracker & rewrite completion<->readline interaction
This patch reworks the whole completion machinery, and prepares it for later enhancements. Adds a new "completion_tracker" class that is meant to hold everything about the state of the current completion operation. This class now has the responsibility of tracking the list of completion matches, and checking whether the max completions limit has been reached. You can look at this as this patch starting out by C++fying the existing "completion_tracker" in symtab.c (it's just an htab_t typedef currently), moving it to completer.h/c, and then making it a class/generalizing/enhancing it. Unlike with the current tracking, completion_tracker now checks whether the limit has been reached on each completion match list insertion. This both simplifies the max-completions handling code (maybe_add_completion_enum is gone, for example), and is a prerequisite for follow up patches. The current completion_tracker is only used for symbol completions, and the symbol code gets at the current instance via globals. This patch cleans that up by adding a completion_tracker reference to the signature of the completion functions, and passing the tracker around everywhere necessary. Then, the patch changes how the completion match list is handed over to readline. Currently, we're using the rl_completion_entry_function readline entry point, and the patch switches to rl_attempted_completion_function. A following patch will want to let GDB itself decide the common completion prefix between all matches (what readline calls the "lowest common denominator"), instead of having readline compute it, and that's not possible with the rl_completion_entry_function entry point. Also, rl_attempted_completion_function lets GDB hand over the match list to readline as an array in one go instead of passing down matches one by one, so from that angle it's a nicer entry point anyway. Lastly, the patch catches exceptions around the readline entry points, because we can't let C++ exceptions cross readline. We handle that in the readline input entry point, but the completion entry point isn't guarded, so GDB can abort if completion throws. E.g., in current master: (gdb) b -function "fun<tab> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR' Aborted (core dumped) This patch fixes that. This will be exercised in the new tests added later on in the series. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-07-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * ada-lang.c (symbol_completion_match): Adjust comments.
