Pedro Alves 10217050c8 Fix completer.c FIXME, and invalid pointer to pointer conversion.
As mentioned in the previous patch, I grepped for "\*\*) &" and found
one hit in completer.c.

I was about to post a patch that simply made
current_demangling_style_string const, and cast away constness at the
xfree site.  However, looking deeper, it seem to be there's a lot of
dead code in the file.

First, all external callers of set_demangling_style are found in the
stabs reader, commented out for over 12 years:

  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2000-12/msg00214.html

I don't think it's likely we'll ever make the older mangling schemes
work for stabs.  If we do, we can rediscuss the approach then.

Then, set_demangling_command has special handling for unknown
demangling styles, but "set demangle-style" is an enum command, and
with those, the user can only specify a known enumeration value, by
design:

  (gdb) set demangle-style gangnam-style
  Undefined item: "gangnam-style".


This patch removes all that dead code, then makes
current_demangling_style_string point to an element of
demangling_style_names, as the FIXME suggests, and then makes
current_demangling_style_string, removing the need for the 'const char
**' cast.

	* dbxread.c (read_ofile_symtab, process_one_symbol): Remove
	commented out code.
	* demangle.c (current_demangling_style_string): Make it const.
	(set_demangling_command): Assert the demangling style is known.
	Remove all handling of unknown styles.  Set
	'current_demangling_style_string' to an element of the
	demangling_style_names array.
	(set_demangling_style): Delete.
	(_initialize_demangler): Set current_demangling_style_string to the
	element of the demangling_style_names array that corresponds to
	the default demangling style.  Remove FIXME note.  Don't call
	set_demangling_style.
	* gdb-demangle.h (set_demangling_style): Remove declaration.
