Tom Tromey b583c328e7 Add a way to temporarily set a gdb parameter from Python
It's sometimes useful to temporarily set some gdb parameter from
Python.  Now that the 'endian' crash is fixed, and now that the
current language is no longer captured by the Python layer, it seems
reasonable to add a helper function for this situation.

This adds a new gdb.with_parameter function.  This creates a context
manager which temporarily sets some parameter to a specified value.
The old value is restored when the context is exited.  This is most
useful with the Python "with" statement:

   with gdb.with_parameter('language', 'ada'):
      ... do Ada stuff

This also adds a simple function to set a parameter,
gdb.set_parameter, as suggested by Andrew.

This is PR python/10790.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
