230 so large as to be useless. This helps avoid GDB seeming to lock
231 up in the event the user requests to complete on something vague
232 that necessitates the time consuming expansion of many symbol
233 tables.
234
235 - The completer's idea of least common denominator (aka the common
236 prefix) between all completion matches to hand over to readline.
237 Some completers provide matches that don't start with the
238 completion "word". E.g., completing on "b push_ba" on a C++
239 program usually completes to std::vector<...>::push_back,
240 std::string::push_back etc. If all matches happen to start with
241 "std::", then readline would figure out that the lowest common
242 denominator is "std::", and thus would do a partial completion
243 with that. I.e., it would replace "push_ba" in the input buffer
244 with "std::", losing the original "push_ba", which is obviously
245 undesirable. To avoid that, such completers pass the substring
246 of the match that matters for common denominator computation as
247 MATCH_FOR_LCD argument to add_completion. The end result is
248 passed to readline in gdb_rl_attempted_completion_function.
249
250 - The custom word point to hand over to readline, for completers
251 that parse the input string in order to dynamically adjust
252 themselves depending on exactly what they're completing. E.g.,
253 the linespec completer needs to bypass readline's too-simple word
254 breaking algorithm.
