Due to the way that readline's API works (based on globals), we can
only have one instance of readline in a process. So the goal of this
patch is to only allow editing in the main UI, and make sure that only
one UI calls into readline. Some MI paths touch readline variables
currently, which is bad as that is changing variables that matter for
the main console UI. This patch fixes those.
This actually fixes a nasty bug -- starting gdb in MI mode ("gdb
-i=mi"), and then doing "set editing on" crashes GDB, because MI is
not prepared to use readline:
set editing on
&"set editing on\n"
=cmd-param-changed,param="editing",value="on"
^done
(gdb)

readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
Aborted (core dumped)
The fix for that was to add an interp_proc method to query the
interpreter whether it actually supports editing. New test included.

This patch fixes the following bug in TUI:
(gdb) break foo
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) <ENTER>
By submitting an empty command line to a secondary prompt, the line
corresponding to the secondary prompt is undesirably cleared and
overwritten. Outside of a secondary prompt, clearing the prompt line
after submitting an empty command line is intended behavior which
complements GDB's repeat-command shorthand. But inside a secondary
prompt, this behavior is undesired since the shorthand is not applicable
in that case. We should retain the secondary-prompt line even when it's
given no input.
This patch makes sure that a prompt that was given an empty command line
is cleared and overwritten only if it's not a secondary prompt. To
acheive this, a new predicate is defined which informs us whether the
current input handler is a secondary prompt.

This is necessary to make sure that start_line is updated after a
command has been entered. Usually, start_line gets updated anyway
because most commands output text, and outputting text is done through
the function tui_puts, which updates start_line. However if a command
does not output text, then tui_puts will not get called and start_line
will not get updated in time for the next prompt to be displayed.
One can observe this bug by executing the command "delete" within TUI.
After executing, the prompt line
(gdb) delete
gets overwritten by the next prompt. With this patch, the prompt line
gets preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Use tui_putc instead of waddch to

These fields are currently used to track the location of the cursor
inside the command window. But their usefulness is questionable because
ncurses already internally keeps track of the location of the cursor,
whose coordinates we can query using the functions getyx(), getcurx() or
getcury(). It is an unnecessary pain to keep these fields in sync with
ncurses, and their meaning is not well-defined anyway. For instance, it
is not clear whether the coordinates held in these fields are
authoritative, or whether the coordinates reported by ncurses are.
So to keep things simple, this patch removes these fields and replaces
existing reads of these fields with calls to the appropriate ncurses
querying functions, and replaces writes to these fields with calls to
wmove() (when necessary and applicable).
In the function tui_cont_sig(), I removed the call to wmove() entirely
because moving to (start_line, curch) makes no sense. The move should
have been to (cur_line, curch) -- which would now be a no-op.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 22, no obvious regressions.

This patch teaches the TUI to resize itself asynchronously instead of
synchronously. Asynchronously resizing the screen when the underlying
terminal gets resized is the more intuitive behavior and is surprisingly
simple to implement thanks to GDB's async infrastructure.
The implementation is straightforward. TUI's SIGWINCH handler is just
tweaked to asynchronously invoke a new callback,
tui_async_resize_screen, which is responsible for safely resizing the
screen. Care must be taken to not to attempt to asynchronously resize
the screen while the TUI is not active. When the TUI is not active, the
callback will do nothing, but the screen will yet be resized in the next
call to tui_enable() by virtue of win_resized being TRUE.
(So, after the patch there are still two places where the screen gets
resized: one in tui_enable() and the other now in
tui_async_resize_screen() as opposed to being in
tui_handle_resize_during_io(). The one in tui_enable() is still
necessary to handle the case where the terminal gets resized inside the
CLI: in that case, the TUI still needs resizing, but it must wait until
the TUI gets re-enabled.)

The function key_is_command_char() is simply a predicate that determines
whether the function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() will do anything useful.
Since tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() performs the same checks as
key_is_command_char() it is unnecessary to keep key_is_command_char()
around. This patch removes this useless function and instead
unconditionally calls tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() inside its only caller,
tui_getc().

This patch fixes a pair of TUI issues related to screen resizing:
1. In tui_handle_resize_during_io(), when the TUI screen gets resized,
we fail to update GDB's idea about the height of the output window.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. "show height"
c. Resize the terminal.
d. "show height"
And observe that despite resizing the terminal, the reported height
remains unchanged. Note that a similar issue exists in the CLI.
The fix for this is simple: call tui_update_gdb_sizes() after performing
a resize, so that the "height" variable remains consistent with the
height of TUI's output window.
2. In tui_enable(), the call to tui_update_gdb_sizes() may clobber
readline's idea of the actual screen dimensions, and a subsequent
pending resize will use bogus terminal dimensions.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. Exit TUI mode.
c. Resize the terminal.
d. Enter TUI mode.
e. Press a key to resize the screen.
And observe that the terminal gets incorrectly resized to the wrong
dimensions. To fix this issue, we should oppurtunistically resize the
screen in tui_enable(). That way we eliminate the possibility of a
pending resize triggering right after we call tui_update_gdb_sizes().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_handle_resize_during_io): Call
tui_update_gdb_sizes() after resizing the screen.
* tui/tui.c (tui_enable): Resize the terminal before
calling tui_update_gdb_sizes().
If we submit a command while the prompt cursor is somewhere other than
at the end of the command line, the command line gets truncated as the
command window gets shifted one line up. This happens because we fail
to properly move the cursor to the end of the command line before
transmitting the newline to ncurses. We need to move the cursor because
when ncurses outputs a newline it truncates any text that appears
past the end of the cursor.
The fix is generic enough to work properly even in multi-line secondary
prompts like the quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Move cursor to the end of the command
line before printing a newline.
In the TUI mode, we call wrefresh after outputting every single
character. This results in the I/O becoming very slow. Fix this by
delaying refreshing the console window until an explicit flush of
gdb_stdout is requested, or a write to any other (unbuffered) file is
done.

This patch primarily rewrites defaulted_query() to use
gdb_readline_wrapper() to prompt the user for input, like
prompt_for_continue() does. The motivation for this rewrite is to be
able to reuse the default query hook in TUI, obviating the need for a
custom TUI query hook.
However, having TUI use the default query mechanism exposed a couple of
latent bugs in tui_redisplay_readline() related to the handling of
multi-line prompts, in particular GDB's multi-line quit prompt.
The first issue is an off-by-one error in the calculation of the height
of the prompt. The check in question should be col <= prev_col, not c <
prev_col, to properly account for the case when a prompt contains
multiple consecutive newlines. Failing to do so makes TUI have the
wrong idea of the vertical height of the prompt. This patch fixes the
column check.
The second issue is that cur_line does not get updated to reflect the
cursor position if the user's prompt cursor is at the end of the prompt
(i.e. if rl_point == rl_end). cur_line only gets updated if rl_point
lies between 0..rl_end-1 because that is the bounds of the for loop
responsible for updating cur_line. This patch changes the loop's bounds
to 0..rl_end so that cur_line always gets updated.
With these two bug fixes out of the way, the default query mechanism
works well in TUI even with multi-line prompts like GDB's quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (defaulted_query): Rewrite to use gdb_readline_wrapper
to prompt for input.
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_query_hook): Remove.
(tui_install_hooks): Don't set deprecated_query_hook.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_redisplay_readline): Fix off-by-one error in
height calculation. Always update the command window's cur_line.
This patch fixes the annoying bug where key sequences such as Alt_F or
Alt_B (go forward or backwards by a word) do not behave promptly in TUI.
You have to press a third key in order for the key sequence to register.
This is mostly ncurses' fault. Calling wgetch() normally causes ncurses
to read only a single key from stdin. However if the key read is the
start-sequence key (^[ a.k.a. ESC) then wgetch() reads TWO keys from
stdin, storing the 2nd key into an internal FIFO buffer and returning
the start-sequence key. The extraneous read of the 2nd key makes us
miss its corresponding stdin event, so the event loop blocks until a
third key is pressed. This explains why such key sequences do not
behave promptly in TUI.
To fix this issue, we must somehow compensate for the missed stdin event
corresponding to the 2nd byte of a key sequence. This patch achieves
this by hacking up the stdin event handler to conditionally execute the
readline callback multiple times in a row. This is done via a new
global variable, call_stdin_event_handler_again_p, which is set from
tui_getc() when we receive a start-sequence key and notice extra pending
input in the ncurses buffer.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

tui_initialize_io contains a pair of hardwired fprintf/exit error
handlers. I was unable to find any documentation as to why they're
hardwired (the code appeared in a monolithic block back in 2001:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2001-07/msg00490.html) and I
was also unable to come up with a situation where error would not
be suitable, so I have replaced both handlers with calls to error.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-04/msg00018.html
Message-ID: <140415125618.AA57598.SM@caleb.ins.cwru.edu>
In short it happens on Fedora Rawhide since:
readline-6.3-1.fc21
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=538941
The error is:
../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:132:1: error: 'Function' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
static Function *tui_old_rl_getc_function;

../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:133:1: error: 'VFunction' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

It is since bash change:
lib/readline/rltypedefs.h
- remove old Function/VFunction/CPFunction/CPPFunction typedefs as
suggested by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
The new typedefs used below are present in readline/rltypedefs.h since:

Fix --with-system-readline with readline-6.3 patch 5.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_old_rl_getc_function, tui_old_rl_redisplay_function)
(tui_old_rl_prep_terminal, tui_old_rl_deprep_terminal): Use rl_*_t
types.
Message-ID: <20140620105004.GA22236@host2.jankratochvil.net>
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
while executing the gdb command.
(tui_rl_startup_hook): Do not switch back to TUI_SINGLE_KEY_MODE if we
are called from prompt_for_continue.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_redisplay_readline): Likewise.
