[gdb/python] Add typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod
In gdb/python/py-tui.c we have code like this:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get(), "hscroll",
"i", num_to_scroll, nullptr));
...
The nullptr is superfluous, the format string already indicates that there's
only one method argument.
OTOH, passing no method args does use a nullptr:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get (), "render",
nullptr));
...
Furthermore, choosing the right format string chars can be tricky.
Add a typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod that hides these
details, such that we can use the more intuitive:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get(), "hscroll",
num_to_scroll));
...
and:
...
gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get (), "render"));
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
