150 This function is usually called twice: once when we are figuring out
151 the break characters to be used, and another to perform the real
152 completion itself. The reason for this two step dance is that we
153 need to know the set of "brkchars" to use early on, before we
154 actually try to perform the completion. But if a Python command
155 supplies a "complete" method then we have to call that method
156 first: it may return as its result the kind of completion to
157 perform and that will in turn specify which brkchars to use. IOW,
158 we need the result of the "complete" method before we actually
159 perform the completion. The only situation when this function is
160 not called twice is when the user uses the "complete" command: in
161 this scenario, there is no call to determine the "brkchars".
163 Ideally, it would be nice to cache the result of the first call (to
164 determine the "brkchars") and return this value directly in the
165 second call (to perform the actual completion). However, due to
166 the peculiarity of the "complete" command mentioned above, it is
167 possible to put GDB in a bad state if you perform a TAB-completion
168 and then a "complete"-completion sequentially. Therefore, we just
169 recalculate everything twice for TAB-completions.
