Expression completer should not match explicit location options
This commit fixes a mismatch between what "print" command completer thinks the command understands, and what the command actually understands. The explicit location options are understood by commands that take (linespecs and) explicit locations as argument. I.e, breakpoint commands, and "list". For example: (gdb) b -source file.c -function my_func So for those commands, it makes sense that the completer completes: "b -sour[TAB]" -> "b -source " "b -functi[TAB]" -> "b -function " etc. However, completion for commands that take expressions (not linespecs/locations) as arguments, such as the "print" command, also completes the explicit location options, even though those switches aren't really understood by these commands. Instead, "-foo" is understood as an expression applying unary minus on a symbol named "foo" (think "print -1"): (gdb) p -func[TAB] (gdb) p -function [RET] No symbol "function" in current context. The patch fixes this by having the expression_completer function bypass the function that completes explicit locations. New regression tests included. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-06-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * completer.c (expression_completer): Call linespec_location_completer instead of location_completer. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-06-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/printcmds.exp: Add tests.
