[PATCH 1/3] gdb: Switch "info types" over to use the gdb::options framework

Andrew Burgess andrew.burgess@embecosm.com
Fri Jul 12 11:37:00 GMT 2019


Adds a new -q flag to "info types" using the gdb::option framework.
This -q flag is similar to the -q flag already present for "info
variables" and "info functions".

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* NEWS: Mention adding -q option to "info types".
	* symtab.c (struct info_types_options): New struct.
	(info_types_options_defs): New variable.
	(make_info_types_options_def_group): New function.
	(info_types_command): Use gdb::option framework to parse options.
	(info_types_command_completer): New function.
	(_initialize_symtab): Extend the help text on "info types" and
	register command completer.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Add information about -q flag to "info
	types".
