Rewrite/enhance explicit locations completer, parse left->right
One of the most annoying (to me) things about GDB's completion is when
you have overloads in your program, and you want to set a breakpoint
in one of them:
void function(int); // set breakpoint here.
void function(long);
(gdb) b -f func[TAB]
(gdb) b -f function( # ok, gdb completed as much as possible.
(gdb) b -f function([TAB] # show me the overloads, please.
<_all_ symbols in the program are shown...>
E.g., when debugging GDB, that'd be:
(gdb) b -f function([TAB]
(anonymous namespace)::get_global()::global pt_insn_get_offset@plt scm_new_port_table_entry
asprintf pt_pkt_alloc_decoder scm_new_port_table_entry@plt
asprintf@plt pt_pkt_alloc_decoder@plt scm_out_of_range
bt_ctf_get_char_array pt_pkt_sync_forward scm_out_of_range@plt
bt_ctf_get_char_array@plt pt_pkt_sync_forward@plt scm_putc
bt_ctf_get_uint64 pwrite scm_putc@plt
bt_ctf_get_uint64@plt pwrite@plt scm_reverse_x
bt_ctf_iter_read_event PyErr_Restore scm_reverse_x@plt
bt_ctf_iter_read_event@plt PyErr_Restore@plt scm_set_port_filename_x
<snip...>
Now that's a load of completely useless completions.
The reason GDB offers those is that the completer relies on readline
figuring out the completion word point in the input line based on the
language's word break characters, which include "(". So readline
tells the completer to complete on "", the string that is after '('.
Likewise, if you type "function(i[TAB]" to try to complete to "int",
you're out of luck. GDB shows you all the symbols in the program that
start with "i"... This makes sense for the expression completer, as
what you'd want to type is e.g., a global variable, say:
(gdb) print function(i[TAB]
but, it makes no sense when specifying a function name for a
breakpoint location.
To get around that limitation, users need to quote the function name,
like:
(gdb) b -f 'function([TAB]
function(int) function(long)
(gdb) b 'function(i[TAB]
(gdb) b 'function(int)' # now completes correctly!
Note that the quoting is only necessary for completion. Creating the
breakpoint does not require the quoting:
(gdb) b -f function(int) [RET]
Breakpoint 1 at ....
This patch removes this limitation.
(
Actually, it's a necessary patch, though not sufficient. That'll
start working correctly by the end of the series. With this patch, if try it,
you'll see:
(gdb) b -f function(i[TAB]
(gdb) b -f function
i.e., gdb strips everything after the "(". That's caused by some code
in symtab.c that'll be eliminated further down the series. These
patches are all unfortunately interrelated, which is also the reason
new tests only appear much later in the series.
But let's ignore that reality for the remainder of the description.
)
So... this patch gets rid of the need for quoting.
It does that by adding a way for a completer to control the exact
completion word point that readline should start the completion
request for, instead of letting readline try to figure it out using
the current language's word break chars array, and often failing.
In the case above, we want the completer to figure out that it's
completing a function name that starts with "function(i". It now
does.
It took me a while to figure out a way to ask readline to "use this
exact word point", and for a while I feared that it'd be impossible
with current readline (and having to rely on master readline for core
functionality is something I'd like to avoid very much). Eventually,
after several different attempts, I came up with what is described in
the comment above gdb_custom_word_point_brkchars in the patch.
With this patch, the handle_brkchars phase of the explicit location
completer advances the expected word point as it parses the input line
left to right, until it figures out exactly what we're completing,
instead of expecting readline to break the string using the word break
characters, and then having the completer heuristically fix up a bad
decision by parsing the input string backwards. This allows correctly
knowning that we're completing a symbol name after -function, complete
functions without quoting, etc.
Later, we'll make use of this same mechanims to implement a proper
linespec completer that avoids need for quoting too.
