2003-05-02  Elena Zannoni  <ezannoni@redhat.com>

	* charset.c (GDB_DEFAULT_TARGET_CHARSET,
	GDB_DEFAULT_HOST_CHARSET): Move to earlier in the file.
	(host_charset_name, target_charset_name): New vars for use by
	set/show commands.
	(host_charset_enum, target_charset_enum): New enums for set/show
	commands.
	(set_charset_sfunc, set_host_charset_sfunc,
	set_target_charset_sfunc): New functions.
	(set_host_charset, set_target_charset): Make static.
	(list_charsets, set_host_charset_command,
	set_target_charset_command): Delete functions.
	(show_charset_command): Rewrite as....
	(show_charset): Hook this up with the set/show command mechanism.
	(_initialize_charset): Change names of charsets to match the
	set/show enums. Use host_charset_name and target_charset_name.
	Use set/show mechanism for charset, host-charset, target-charset
	commands. Do not make 'show host-charset' and 'show
	target-charset' be aliases of 'show charset'.

	* charset.h (set_host_charset, set_target_charset): Don't export,
	they are not used outside the file.

gdb/testsuite:
2003-05-01  Elena Zannoni  <ezannoni@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/charset.exp: Update based on new behavior of set/show
	charset commands.

gdb/doc:
2003-05-02  Elena Zannoni  <ezannoni@redhat.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (Character Sets): Update to reflect new behavior of
	set/show charsets commands.

/* If the target program uses a different character set than the host,
GDB has some support for translating between the two; GDB converts
characters and strings to the host character set before displaying
them, and converts characters and strings appearing in expressions
entered by the user to the target character set.
At the moment, GDB only supports single-byte, stateless character
sets. This includes the ISO-8859 family (ASCII extended with
accented characters, and (I think) Cyrillic, for European
languages), and the EBCDIC family (used on IBM's mainframes).
Unfortunately, it excludes many Asian scripts, the fixed- and
variable-width Unicode encodings, and other desireable things.
Patches are welcome! (For example, it would be nice if the Java
string support could simply get absorbed into some more general
multi-byte encoding support.)
Furthermore, GDB's code pretty much assumes that the host character
set is some superset of ASCII; there are plenty if ('0' + n)
expressions and the like.
When the `iconv' library routine supports a character set meeting
the requirements above, it's easy to plug an entry into GDB's table
that uses iconv to handle the details. */

language-specific (to C and C++) and character-set-specific.
Putting them here is a compromise. */
