We only really have one remote protocol -- gdb-remote. And we haven't shied from introducing extensions to it in the past, so I don't see why we couldn't add one for remote tab-completion. I don't think that should be a lot of work -- the code for tab completion is already there, so it should mostly be a matter of plumbing the request through the gdb-remote classes. I think that could be useful at times -- I find the ssh remote tab completion in bash pretty useful. That said, it's quite possible there are other tab-completion-y things that could be done and which have a better cost-benefit ratio. pl _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
