201 /* Helper function for the Python command completers (both "pure"
202 completer and brkchar handler). This function takes COMMAND, TEXT
203 and WORD and tries to call the Python method for completion with
204 these arguments.
205
206 This function is usually called twice: once when we are figuring out
207 the break characters to be used, and another to perform the real
208 completion itself. The reason for this two step dance is that we
209 need to know the set of "brkchars" to use early on, before we
210 actually try to perform the completion. But if a Python command
211 supplies a "complete" method then we have to call that method
212 first: it may return as its result the kind of completion to
213 perform and that will in turn specify which brkchars to use. IOW,
214 we need the result of the "complete" method before we actually
215 perform the completion. The only situation when this function is
216 not called twice is when the user uses the "complete" command: in
217 this scenario, there is no call to determine the "brkchars".
218
219 Ideally, it would be nice to cache the result of the first call (to
220 determine the "brkchars") and return this value directly in the
221 second call (to perform the actual completion). However, due to
222 the peculiarity of the "complete" command mentioned above, it is
223 possible to put GDB in a bad state if you perform a TAB-completion
224 and then a "complete"-completion sequentially. Therefore, we just
225 recalculate everything twice for TAB-completions.
