Andrew Burgess e454ae416a gdb: allow quoted filenames for commands that have custom completion
This commit changes how GDB processes command arguments for the
following commands:

  compile file
  maint print c-tdesc
  save gdb-index

After this commit these commands will now expect their single filename
argument to be (optionally) quoted if it contains any special
characters (e.g. whit space or quotes).

If the filename does not contain any special characters then nothing
changes.  As an example:

   (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to/some/directory/

will work before and after this patch.  However, if the directory
name contains a white space then before this patch a user would write:

  (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to some/directory/

But this will now fail as GDB will consider this as two arguments,
'/path/to' and 'some/directory/'.  To pass this single directory name
a user must now do one of these:

  (gdb) save gdb-index "/path/to some/directory/"
  (gdb) save gdb-index '/path/to some/directory/'
  (gdb) save gdb-index /path/to\ some/directory/

This brings these commands into line with commands like 'file' and
'symbol-file', which have supported quoted filenames for a while.

The motivation for this change is to make handling of filename
arguments consistent throughout GDB.  We can't move to all commands
taking non-quoted filenames as the non-quoted style only allows for a
single argument.  Additionally, the non-quoted style doesn't allow for
filenames that end in white space (though this is probably pretty
rare).  So, if we want to have consistency the only choice is to move
towards supporting quote filenames.

		   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.
