Simon Marchi a933405894 remote: Return NULL extra_info/name if they are empty
Commit

  remote: C++ify thread_item and threads_listing_context
  21fe1c752e254167d953fa8c846280f63a3a5290

broke the test gdb.threads/names.exp.  The problem is that since we now
use an std::string to hold the extra_info, an empty string is returned
by target_extra_thread_info to print_thread_info_1 when the remote stub
didn't send any extra info, instead of NULL before.  Because of that,
print_thread_info_1 prints the extra info between parentheses, which
results in some spurious empty parentheses.

  Expected: * 1    Thread 22752.22752 "main" all_threads_ready () at ...
  Actual  : * 1    Thread 22752.22752 "main" () all_threads_ready () a ...

Since the bug was introduced by a behavior change in the remote target,
I chose to fix it on the remote target side by making it return NULL
when the extra string is empty.  This will avoid possibly changing the
behavior of the common code and affecting other targets.

The name field has the same problem.  If a remote stub returns no thread
names, remote_thread_name will return an empty string instead of NULL,
so print_thread_info_1 will show empty quotes ("") instead of nothing.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22556
	* remote.c (remote_thread_name): Return NULL if name is empty.
	(remote_threads_extra_info): Return NULL if extra info is empty.

		   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
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

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