* [PATCH] Fix gdb-mi.el to recognize backslashes as quotes

Hi there.

I've sent a message a while ago asking about this question, and in the
end I managed to figure it out.  You can read my question at:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg00482.html

There is also a GDB bug about it:

    http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15596

The fix is rather simple.  gdb-mi.el is not preserving the context and
saving the command being typed when it sees the backslash, and although
it has a "gdb-continuation" variable for that exact purpose, it is not
setting it properly.  All this patch does is to make sure that
gdb-continuation (and gdb-last-command, for that matter) gets set
correctly when it sees a backslash, or when the user presses RET without
nothing in the prompt (i.e., GDB's parlance for "repeat the last
command").  I chose to strip the last backslash, just like GDB does in
the CLI.

I've tested it with real simple examples, and it worked OK.

OK to apply?

lisp/ChangeLog:
2013-07-11  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@riseup.net>

	* progmodes/gdb-mi.el (gdb-strip-string-backslash): New function.
	(gdb-send): Correctly handle continuation strings with
	backslashes, and properly set the last command typed.

(not (null ...)) is a no-op in this context.

Thanks for looking into it.  I'm on the road for another two weeks, so
I may not be able to check and/or install it before then, but it
looks promising.
