289 - The completer's idea of least common denominator (aka the common
290 prefix) between all completion matches to hand over to readline.
291 Some completers provide matches that don't start with the
292 completion "word". E.g., completing on "b push_ba" on a C++
293 program usually completes to std::vector<...>::push_back,
294 std::string::push_back etc. If all matches happen to start with
295 "std::", then readline would figure out that the lowest common
296 denominator is "std::", and thus would do a partial completion
297 with that. I.e., it would replace "push_ba" in the input buffer
298 with "std::", losing the original "push_ba", which is obviously
299 undesirable. To avoid that, such completers pass the substring
300 of the match that matters for common denominator computation as
301 MATCH_FOR_LCD argument to add_completion. The end result is
302 passed to readline in gdb_rl_attempted_completion_function.
