[patch][python] Implement Python lazy strings (PR 10705)

- Subject: [patch][python] Implement Python lazy strings (PR 10705)
This patch was originally sent to Project Archer. Previous reference
here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/archer/2009-q4/msg00123.html
The changes asked for there have been implemented into the new
generated patch.
This patch implements Python lazy strings, and also alters the Python
pretty-printing process to handle them accordingly. A Python lazy
string, as implemented here is a pointer, an optional encoding and an
optional length. The contents of the lazy string are not retrieved
until printing, and additionally, they are not encoded with Python's
codec machinery. The are encoded with GDB's encoding machinery at
time of printing. This patch allows Paul's example:
print estring
$1 = "embedded x\201\202\203\204
To be processed correctly through the Python pretty-printing code.
This patch is mainly in response to:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10705
Though it will not fix pretty-printers attempting to print
uninitialized data in a backtrace. But it should handle that data as
well as GDB's own printing and encoding mechanisms do now.
There is a small patch required to enable lazy strings with the
libstdc++ printers. I'll submit that when this patch is accepted
upstream. But if you want to try them now, you have to remove the
encoding logic in the std::string printer (we let GDB decide the
encoding, it is more accurate). And also return a lazy_string(length
= len) from the printer over a string().
Tested on X86_64 on archer-tromey-python branch with no regressions.
Cheers,
Phil

+
+@cindex lazy strings in python
+@tindex gdb.LazyString
+A @code{gdb.LazyString} can be defined as an @code{address} that
+points to a region of memory, an @code{encoding} that will be used to
+encode that region of memory, and a @code{length} to delimit the
+region of memory that represents the string. The difference between a
+@code{gdb.LazyString} and a string wrapped within a @code{gdb.Value}
+is that a @code{gdb.LazyString} will be treated differently by
+@value{GDBN} when printing. A @code{gdb.LazyString} is retrieved and
+encoded during printing, while a @code{gdb.Value} wrapping a string is
+immediately retrieved and encoded on creation.
+
+A @code{gdb.LazyString} object has the following functions:
+
+@defmethod LazyString value
+Convert the @code{gdb.LazyString} to a @code{gdb.Value}. This value
+will point to the string in memory, but will lose all the delayed
+retrieval, encoding and handling that @value{GDBN} applies to a
+@code{gdb.LazyString}.
+@end defmethod
+
+@defivar LazyString address
+This attribute holds the address of the string. This attribute is not
+writable.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar LazyString length
+This attribute holds the length of the string in characters. If the
+length is -1, then the string will be fetched and encoded up to the
+first null of appropriate width. This attribute is not writable.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar LazyString encoding
+This attribute holds the encoding that will be applied to the string
+when the string is printed by @value{GDBN}. If the encoding is set
+to @code{None} then @value{GDBN} will select the most appropriate
+encoding when the sting is printed. This attribute is not
