Pedro Alves c62446b12b lookup_name_info::make_ignore_params
A few places in the completion code look for a "(" to find a
function's parameter list, in order to strip it, because psymtabs (and
gdb index) don't include parameter info in the symbol names.

See compare_symbol_name and
default_collect_symbol_completion_matches_break_on.

This is too naive.  Consider:

 ns_overload2_test::([TAB]

We'd want to complete that to:
 ns_overload2_test::(anonymous namespace)::struct_overload2_test

Or:

 b (anonymous namespace)::[TAB]

That currently completes to:

 b (anonymous namespace)

Which is obviously broken.  This patch makes that work.

Also, the current compare_symbol_name hack means that while this
works:

 "b function([TAB]"  ->  "b function()"

This does not:

 "b function ([TAB]"

This patch fixes that.  Whitespace "ignoring" now Just Works, i.e.,
assuming a symbol named "function(int, long)", this:
 b function (   int , lon[TAB]
completes to:
 b function (   int , long)

To address all of this, this patch builds on top of the rest of the
series, and pushes the responsibility of stripping parameters from a
lookup name to the new lookup_name_info object, where we can apply
per-language rules.  Also note that we now only make a version of the
lookup name with parameters stripped out where it's actually required
to do that, in the psymtab and GDB index code.

For C++, the right way to strip parameters is with "cp_remove_params",
which uses a real parser (cp-name-parser.y) to split the name into a
component tree and then discards parameters.

The trouble for completion is that in that case we have an incomplete
name, like "foo::func(int" and thus cp_remove_params throws an error.

This patch sorts that by adding a cp_remove_params_if_any variant of
cp_remove_params that tries removing characters from the end of the
string until cp_remove_params works.  So cp_remove_params_if_any
behaves like this:

With a complete name:

   "foo::func(int)"  => foo::func(int)  # cp_remove_params_1 succeeds the first time.

With an incomplete name:

   "foo::func(int"  => NULL             # cp_remove_params fails the first time.
   "foo::func(in"   => NULL             # and again...
   "foo::func(i"    => NULL             # and again...
   "foo::func("     => NULL             # and again...
   "foo::func"      => "foo::func"      # success!

Note that even if this approach removes significant rightmost
characters, it's still OK, because this parameter stripping is only
necessary for psymtabs and gdb index, where we're determining whether
to expand a symbol table.  Say cp_remove_params_if_any returned
"foo::" above for "foo::func(int".  That'd cause us to expand more
symtabs than ideal (because we'd expand all symtabs with symbols that
start with "foo::", not just "foo::func"), but then when we actually
look for completion matches, we'd still use the original lookup name,
with parameter information ["foo::func(int"], and thus we'll return no
false positive to the user.  Whether the stripping works as intended
and doesn't strip too much is thus covered by a unit test instead of a
testsuite test.

The "if_any" part of the name refers to the fact that while
cp_remove_params returns NULL if the input name has no parameters in
the first place, like:

   "foo::func"      => NULL         # cp_remove_params

cp_remove_params_if_any still returns the function name:

   "foo::func"      => "foo::func"  # cp_remove_params_if_any

README

		   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.
