198 completer and brkchar handler). This function takes COMMAND, TEXT
199 and WORD and tries to call the Python method for completion with
200 these arguments.
201
202 This function is usually called twice: once when we are figuring out
203 the break characters to be used, and another to perform the real
204 completion itself. The reason for this two step dance is that we
205 need to know the set of "brkchars" to use early on, before we
206 actually try to perform the completion. But if a Python command
207 supplies a "complete" method then we have to call that method
208 first: it may return as its result the kind of completion to
209 perform and that will in turn specify which brkchars to use. IOW,
210 we need the result of the "complete" method before we actually
211 perform the completion. The only situation when this function is
212 not called twice is when the user uses the "complete" command: in
213 this scenario, there is no call to determine the "brkchars".
214
215 Ideally, it would be nice to cache the result of the first call (to
216 determine the "brkchars") and return this value directly in the
217 second call (to perform the actual completion). However, due to
218 the peculiarity of the "complete" command mentioned above, it is
219 possible to put GDB in a bad state if you perform a TAB-completion
220 and then a "complete"-completion sequentially. Therefore, we just
221 recalculate everything twice for TAB-completions.
