[v4,2/2] MI: Add new command -complete
Commit Message
There is a CLI command 'complete' intended to use with emacs. Such a command
would also be useful for MI frontends, when separate CLI and MI channels cannot
be used. For example, on Windows (because of lack of PTYs) or when GDB is used
through SSH session.
This commit adds a new '-complete' MI command.

The "done" lines are too long, please break them into lines shorter
than 70 characters.
Otherwise, the documentation parts are OK.
Thanks.
This version is OK, with the tiny issue below addressed.
Can you push this yourself, or do you need someone to do it for you?

errors should not end in \n.

No, I can't. I'll send a v5 with two more fixes shortly - if all is OK,
can you push it, please?

I see you've already posted some more patches. Do you plan to continue
contributing to GDB? If so, might as well give you write access to
the repo so you can push your own patches yourself. Let me know what
you prefer.
Thanks,
Pedro Alves
Polite ping.
The v5 - hopefully good - is here:

I read through these, and they looked good to me.
Please check them in. Thanks for doing this.

+
+@subheading Synopsis
+
+@smallexample
+-complete @var{command}
+@end smallexample
+
+Show a list of completions for partially typed CLI @var{command}.
+
+This command is intended for @sc{gdb/mi} frontends that cannot use two separate
+CLI and MI channels - for example: because of lack of PTYs like on Windows or
+because @value{GDBN} is used remotely via a SSH connection.
+
+@subheading Result
+
+The result consists of two one or two fields:
+
+@table @samp
+@item completion
+This field contains the completed @var{command}. If @var{command}
+has no known completions, this field is omitted.
+
+@item matches
+This field contains a (possibly empty) array of matches. It is always present.
+
+@item max_completions_reached
+This field contains @code{1} if number of known completions is above
+@code{max-completions} limit (see @ref{Completion}), otherwise it contains
+@code{0}. It is always present.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading @value{GDBN} Command
+
+The corresponding @value{GDBN} command is @samp{complete}.
