[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V3 0/7] monitor: support sub command group in auto completion and help

[Wenchao Xia]

Global variable *mon_cmds and *info_cmds are not directly used any more,
*cur_mon is not used in completion related functions. It is possible to create
a monitor with different command table now, but that requirement do not exist
yet, so not changed it to save trouble. Log command is still a special case
now, may be it can be converted as sub group later.

Patch 1-3 make sure the functions can be re-entered safely.

V2:
  General:
  To discard *info_comds more graceful, help related function is modified to 
support
sub command too.
  Patch 6/7 are added to improve help related functions.
  Patch 5: not directly return to make sure args are freed.

  Address Luiz's comments:
  Split patch into small serial.
  struct mon_cmd_t was not moved into header file, instead mon_cmnd_t 
*cmd_table is
added as a member in struct Monitor.
  5/7: drop original code comments for "info" in monitor_find_completion().

v3:
  5/7: add parameter **args_cmdline in parse_cmdline() to tell next valid
parameter's position. This fix the issue in case command length in input is not
equal to its name's length such as "help|?", and the case input start with
space such as "  s". 
  7/7: better commit message.

Wenchao Xia (7):
  1 monitor: discard global variable *cur_mon in completion functions
  2 monitor: discard global variable *mon_cmds
  3 monitor: discard global variable *info_cmds in help functions
  4 monitor: code move for parse_cmdline()
  5 monitor: support sub commands in auto completion
  6 monitor: improve "help" in auto completion for sub command
  7 monitor: improve "help" to allow show tip of single command in sub group
