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.
