	PR gdb/8869:

	* language.c (language, type, range, case_sensitive): Make const.
	(show_language_command): Don't call deprecated_show_value_hack.
	Special case "auto".
	(set_language_command): An unrecognized language is now an
	internal error instead of a user error.  Don't call set_lang_str.
	(show_type_command): Don't call deprecated_show_value_hack.
	Special case "auto".  Use warning.
	(set_type_command): An unrecognized type is now an internal error
	instead of a user error.  Output type check mismatch with language
	here.  Don't call set_type_str.
	(show_range_command): Don't call deprecated_show_value_hack.
	Special case "auto".  Use warning.
	(set_range_command): An unrecognized range check is now an
	internal error instead of a warning.  Output range check mismatch
	with language here.  Don't call set_range_str.
	(show_case_command): Don't call deprecated_show_value_hack.
	Special case "auto".  Use warning.
	(set_case_command): Don't call set_case_str.  An unrecognized case
	check is now an internal error instead of a warning.  Output range
	check mismatch with language here.  Don't call set_case_str.
	(set_type_range_case): Don't call set_type_str, set_range_str or
	set_case_str here.
	(set_lang_str, set_type_str, set_range_str, set_case_str): Delete.
	(add_language): Install or reinstall the "set language" command
	here, and make it an enum command.  Build the enumeration and the
	help string from the current list of known languages.
	(_initialize_language): Don't install "set language" here.  Make
	"set check type", "set check range" and "set case-sensitive" enum
	commands.  Register the "auto" "local" and "unknown" languages in
	that order.

2009-08-13  Pedro Alves  <pedro@codesourcery.com>

	* gdb.base/default.exp: Adjust "set language test": it's now an
	enum command.  Larger help string moved to "help set language".
	* gdb.base/help.exp: Adjust "help set language" expected output,
	now lists all known languages.
