With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

A following patch will make the "pipe" command use the gdb::option
framework for option processing. However, "pipe"'s only option today
is a string option, "-d DELIM", and gdb::option does not support
string options yet.
This commit adds support for string options, mapped to var_string.
For now, a string is parsed up until the first whitespace. I imagine
that we'll need to add support for quoting so that we could do:
(gdb) cmd -option 'some -string'
without gdb confusing the "-string" for an option.
This doesn't seem important for pipe, so I'm leaving it for another
day.
One thing I'm not happy with, is that the string data is managed as a
raw malloc-allocated char *, which means that we need to xfree it
manually. This is because var_string settings work that way too.
Although with var_string settings we're leaking the strings at gdb
exit, that was never really a problem. For options though, leaking is
undesirable.
I think we should tackle that for both settings and options at the
same time, so for now I'm just managing the malloced data manually.
It's a bit ugly in option_def_and_value, but at least that's hidden
from view.
For testing, this adds a new "-string" option to "maint
test-settings", and then tweaks gdb.base/options.exp to exercise it.

Currently, gdb::option::complete_options just discards any processed
option argument, because no completer needs that data.
When completing "pipe -d XXX gdbcmd XXX" however, the completer needs
to know about -d's argument (XXX), in order to know where input is
already past the gdb command and the delimiter.
In this commit, the fix for that is the factoring out of the
save_option_value_in_ctx function and calling it in complete_options.
For testing, this makes "maint show test-options-completion-result"
show the processed options too, like what the "maint test-options"
subcommands output when run. Then, of course, gdb.base/options.exp is
adjusted.
Doing this exposed a couple latent bugs, which is what the other gdb
changes in the patch are for:
- in the var_enum case, without the change, we'd end up with a null
enum argument, and print:
"-enum (null)"
- The get_ulongest change is necessary to avoid advancing PP in a
case where we end up throwing an error, e.g., when parsing "11x".
Without the change the operand pointer shown by "maint show
test-options-completion-result" would be left pointing at "x"
instead of "11x".

This commit adds a generic command options framework, that makes it
easy enough to add '-'-style options to commands in a uniform way,
instead of each command implementing option parsing in its own way.
Options are defined in arrays of option_def objects (for option
definition), and the same options definitions are used for supporting
TAB completion, and also for generating the relevant help fragment of
the "help" command. See the gdb::options::build_help function, which
returns a string with the result of replacing %OPTIONS% in a template
string with an auto-generated "help" string fragment for all the
passed-in options.
Since most options in GDB are in the form of "-OPT", with a single
dash, this is the format that the framework supports.
I like to think of gdb's "-OPT" as the equivalent to getopt's long
options format ("--OPT"), and gdb's "/" as the equivalent to getopt's
short options format. getopt's short options format allows mixing
several one-character options, like "ls -als", kind of similar to
gdb's "x /FMT" and "disassemble /MOD", etc. While with gdb's "-"
options, the option is expected to have a full name, and to be
abbreviatable. E.g., "watch -location", "break -function main", etc.
This patch only deals with "-" options. The above comment serves more
to disclose why I don't think we should support mixing several
unrelated options in a single "-" option invocation, like "thread
apply -qcs" instead of "thread apply -q -c -s".
The following patches will add uses of the infrastructure to several
key commands. Most notably, "print", "compile print", "backtrace",
"frame apply" and "thread apply". I tried to add options to several
commands in order to make sure the framework didn't leave that many
open holes open.
Options use the same type as set commands -- enum var_types. So
boolean options are var_boolean, enum options are var_enum, etc. The
idea is to share code between settings commands and command options.
The "print" options will be based on the "set print" commands, and
their names will be the same. Actually, their definitions will be the
same too. There is a function to create "set/show" commands from an
array for option definitions:
/* Install set/show commands for options defined in OPTIONS. DATA is
a pointer to the structure that holds the data associated with the
OPTIONS array. */
extern void add_setshow_cmds_for_options (command_class cmd_class, void *data,
gdb::array_view<const option_def> options,
struct cmd_list_element **set_list,
struct cmd_list_element **show_list);
That will be used by several following patches.
Other features:
- You can use the "--" delimiter to explicitly indicate end of
options. Several existing commands use this token sequence for
this effect already, so this just standardizes it.
- You can shorten option names, as long as unambiguous. Currently,
some commands allow this (e.g., break -function), while others do
not (thread apply all -ascending). As GDB allows abbreviating
command names and other things, it feels more GDB-ish to allow
abbreviating option names too, to me.
- For boolean options, 0/1 stands for off/on, just like with boolean
"set" commands.
- For boolean options, "true" is implied, just like with boolean "set
commands.
These are the option types supported, with a few examples:
- boolean options (var_boolean). The option's argument is optional.
(gdb) print -pretty on -- *obj
(gdb) print -pretty off -- *obj
(gdb) print -p -- *obj
(gdb) print -p 0 -- *obj
- flag options (like var_boolean, but no option argument (on/off))
(gdb) thread apply all -s COMMAND
- enum options (var_enum)
(gdb) bt -entry-values compact
(gdb) bt -e c
- uinteger options (var_uinteger)
(gdb) print -elements 100 -- *obj
(gdb) print -e 100 -- *obj
(gdb) print -elements unlimited -- *obj
(gdb) print -e u -- *obj
- zuinteger-unlimited options (var_zuinteger_unlimited)
(gdb) print -max-depth 100 -- obj
(gdb) print -max-depth -1 -- obj
(gdb) print -max-depth unlimited -- obj
Other var_types could be supported, of course. These were just the
types that I needed for the commands that I ported over, in the
following patches.
It was interesting (and unfortunate) to find that we need at least 3
different modes to cover the existing commands:
- Commands that require ending options with "--" if you specify any
option: "print" and "compile print".
- Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to error out if
you specify an unknown option (i.e., an unknown argument that starts
with '-'): "compile code" / "compile file".
- Commands that do not want to require "--", and want to process
unknown options themselves: "bt", because of "bt -COUNT",
"thread/frame apply", because "-" is a valid command.
The different behavior is encoded in the process_options_mode enum,
passed to process_options/complete_options.
For testing, this patch adds one representative maintenance command
for each of the process_options_mode values, that are used by the
testsuite to exercise the options framework:
(gdb) maint test-options require-delimiter
(gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-error
(gdb) maint test-options unknown-is-operand
and adds another command to help with TAB-completion testing:
(gdb) maint show test-options-completion-result
See their description at the top of the maint-test-options.c file.
Docs/NEWS are in a patch later in the series.
