Andrew Burgess 037d7135de gdb: improve command completion for 'print', 'x', and 'display'
The /FMT specification on the print command currently breaks command
completion, so:

  (gdb) p var.<TAB><TAB>
  .... list of fields in var .....

But,

  (gdb) p/d var.<TAB><TAB>
  ..... list of all symbols .....

After this commit this issue is now resolved.

There are some other details around tab-completion and /FMT which
hopefully this commit improves.  So, before:

  (gdb) p/<TAB><TAB>
  .... lists all symbols .....

After:

  (gdb) p/<TAB><TAB>		# Nothing changes...

The thinking here is that after a / the user must type a FMT, but we
don't offer tab completion on FMT characters.  Placing a symbol
directly after a / will not do what the user expects, so offering that
seems wrong.

Similarly, before we had:

  (gdb) p/d<TAB><TAB>
  ... lists all symbols starting with 'd' ....

But afterwards:

  (gdb) p/d<TAB><TAB>		# Adds a single space, so we get:
  (gdb) p/d <CURSOR>

As before, typing a symbol where FMT is expected will not do what the
user expects.  If the user has added a FMT string then upon tab
completion GDB assumes the FMT string is complete and prepares the
user to type an expression.

In this commit I have also added completion functions for the 'x' and
'display' commands.  These commands also support /FMT specifiers and
so share some code with 'print'.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* printcmd.c: Include 'safe-ctype.c'.
	(skip_over_slash_fmt): New function.
	(print_command_completer): Call skip_over_slash_fmt.
	(display_and_x_command_completer): New function.
	(_initialize_printcmd): Add command completion for 'x' and
	'display'.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add new tests.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
