A following patch will add support for wild matching for C++ symbols,
making completing on "b push_ba" on a C++ program complete to
std::vector<...>::push_back, std::string::push_back etc., like:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
Currently, we compute the "lowest common denominator" between all
completion candidates (what the input line is adjusted to) as the
common prefix of all matches. That's problematic with wild matching
as above, as then we'd end up with TAB changing the input line to
"b std::", losing the original input, like:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
(gdb) b std::
while obviously we'd want it to adjust itself to "b push_back(" instead:
(gdb) b push_ba[TAB]
std::vector<...>::push_back(....)
std::string<...>::push_back(....)
(gdb) b push_back(
This patch adds the core code necessary to support this, though
nothing really makes use of it yet in this patch.
