Andrew Burgess bbbfe4af4f gdb: simplify completion_result::print_matches
Simplify completion_result::print_matches by removing one of the code
paths.  Now, every time we call ::print_matches we always add the
trailing quote.

Previously, when using the 'complete' command, if there was only one
result then trailing quote was added in ::build_completion_result, but
when we had multiple results the trailing quote was added in
::print_matches.  As a consequence, ::print_matches had to understand
not to add the trailing quote for the single result case.

After this commit we don't add the trailing quote in
::build_completion_result, instead ::print_matches always adds the
trailing quote, which makes ::print_matches simpler.

However, there is a slight problem.  When completion is being driven
by readline, and not by the 'complete' command, we still need to
manually add the trailing quote in the single result case, and as the
printing is done by readline we can't add the quote at the time of
printing, and so, in ::build_completion_result, we still add the
trailing quote, but only when completion is being done for readline.

And this does cause a small problem.  When completing a filename, if
the completion results in a directory name then, when using the
'complete' command, GDB should not be adding a trailing quote.  For
example, if we have the file /tmp/xxx/foo.c, then what we should see
is this:

  (gdb) complete file '/tmp/xx
  file 'tmp/xxx/

But what we actually see after this commit is this:

  (gdb) complete file '/tmp/xx
  file 'tmp/xxx/'

Previously we didn't get the trailing quote in this case, as when
there is only a single result, the quote was added in
::build_completion_result, and for filename completion, GDB didn't
know what the quote character was in ::build_completion_result, so no
quote was added.  Now that the trailing quote is always added in
::print_matches, and GDB does know the quote character at this point,
so we are now getting the trailing quote, which is not correct.

This is a regression, but really, GDB is now broken in a consistent
way, if we create the file /tmp/xxa/bar.c, then previously if we did
this:

  (gdb) complete file '/tmp/xx
  file '/tmp/xxa/'
  file '/tmp/xxx/'

Notice how we get the trailing quote in this case, this is the before
patch behaviour, and is also wrong.

A later commit will fix things so that the trailing quote is not added
in this filename completion case, but for now I'm going to accept this
small regression.

This change in behaviour caused some failures in one of the completion
tests, I've tweaked the test case to expect the trailing quote as part
of this commit, but will revert this in a later commit in this series.

I've also added an extra test for when the 'complete' command does
complete to a single complete filename, in which case the trailing
quote is expected.

		   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

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
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.
