From 26648588294d039fcf1efbf512d785753cb6286d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Vrany Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 10:58:23 +0100 Subject: MI: Add new command -complete There is a CLI command 'complete' intended to use with emacs. Such a command would also be useful for MI frontends, when separate CLI and MI channels cannot be used. For example, on Windows (because of lack of PTYs) or when GDB is used through SSH session. This commit adds a new '-complete' MI command. gdb/Changelog: 2019-01-28 Jan Vrany * mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_complete): New function. * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_complete): Likewise. * mi/mi-cmds.c: Define new MI command -complete. * NEWS: Mention new -complete command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2019-01-28 Jan Vrany * gdb.texinfo (Miscellaneous GDB/MI Commands): Document new MI command -complete. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-01-28 Jan Vrany * gdb.mi/mi-complete.exp: New file. * gdb.mi/mi-complete.cc: Likewise. --- gdb/NEWS | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'gdb/NEWS') diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS index 288615b..1e92a2b 100644 --- a/gdb/NEWS +++ b/gdb/NEWS @@ -46,6 +46,13 @@ show print max-depth The default max-depth is 20, but this can be set to unlimited to get the old behavior back. +* New MI commands + +-complete + This lists all the possible completions for the rest of the line, if it + were to be given as a command itself.
