Hello,

I was hoping to submit the other patch on Value.referenced_value
before sending this one over. Since I could not yet submit (though
approved), I am sending over the 'explore' command patch with
suggested changes.

Thanks to Eli for reviewing. I have modified according to your
suggestions. However, since there is a lot of new material, it will
require another close review.

Docs ChangeLog:

2012-03-21 Siva Chandra <sivachandra@google.com>

        * gdb.texinfo (Examining Data): Document the 'explore' command.

Code ChangeLog:

2012-03-21 Siva Chandra <sivachandra@google.com>

        New command 'explore' which helps explore values and types in
        scope.
        * NEWS: Add an entry about the new 'explore' command.
        * data-directory/Makefile.in: Add gdb/command/explore.py
        * python/lib/gdb/command/explore.py: Implemention of the 'explore'
        command using the GDB Python API.

Testsuite ChangeLog:

2012-03-21 Siva Chandra <sivachandra@google.com>

        * gdb.python/Makefile.in: Add py-explore to EXECUTABLES
        * gdb.python/py-explore.c: C program used for testing the new
        'explore' command.
        * gdb-python/py-explore.exp: Tests for the new 'explore'
        command.

Thanks,
Siva Chandra
