PR tui/16138 is about failure to initialize curses resulting in GDB
exiting instead of throwing an error. E.g.:
$ TERM=foo gdb
(gdb) layout asm
Error opening terminal: foo.
$
The problem is that we're calling initscr to initialize the screen.
As mentioned in
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcurses/initscr.html:
If errors occur, initscr() writes an appropriate error message to
standard error and exits.
^^^^^
Instead, we should use newterm:
"A program that needs an indication of error conditions, so it can
continue to run in a line-oriented mode if the terminal cannot support
a screen-oriented program, would also use this function."
After the patch:
$ TERM=foo gdb -q -nx
(gdb) layout asm
Cannot enable the TUI: error opening terminal [TERM=foo]
(gdb)
And then PR tui/17519 is about GDB not validating whether the terminal
has the necessary capabilities when enabling the TUI. If one tries to
enable the TUI with TERM=dumb (and e.g., from a shell within emacs),
GDB ends up with a clear screen, the cursor is placed at the
bottom/right corner of the screen, there's no prompt, typing shows no
echo, and there's no indication of what's going on. c-x,a gets you
out of the TUI, but it's completely non-obvious.
After the patch, we get:
$ TERM=dumb gdb -q -nx
(gdb) layout asm
Cannot enable the TUI: terminal doesn't support cursor addressing [TERM=dumb]
(gdb)
While at it, I've moved all the tui_allowed_p validation to
tui_enable, and expanded the error messages. Previously we'd get:
$ gdb -q -nx -i=mi
(gdb)
layout asm
&"layout asm\n"
&"TUI mode not allowed\n"
^error,msg="TUI mode not allowed"
and:
$ gdb -q -nx -ex "layout asm" > foo
TUI mode not allowed
While now we get:
$ gdb -q -nx -i=mi
(gdb)
layout asm
&"layout asm\n"
&"Cannot enable the TUI when the interpreter is 'mi'\n"
^error,msg="Cannot enable the TUI when the interpreter is 'mi'"
(gdb)
and:
$ gdb -q -nx -ex "layout asm" > foo
Cannot enable the TUI when output is not a terminal

Enabling target-async by default will require implementing sync
execution on top of an async target, much like foreground command are
implemented on the CLI in async mode.
In order to do that, we will need better control of when to print the
MI prompt. Currently the interp->display_prompt_p hook is all we
have, and MI just always returns false, meaning, make
display_gdb_prompt a no-op. We'll need to be able to know to print
the MI prompt in some of the conditions that display_gdb_prompt is
called from the core, but not all.
This is all a litte twisted currently. As we can see,
display_gdb_prompt is really CLI specific, so make the console
interpreters (console/tui) themselves call it. To be able to do that,
and add a few different observers that the interpreters can use to
distinguish when or why the the prompt is being printed:
#1 - one called whenever a command is cancelled due to an error.
#2 - another for when a foreground command just finished.
In both cases, CLI wants to print the prompt, while MI doesn't.
MI will want to print the prompt in the second case when in a special
MI mode.
The display_gdb_prompt call in interp_set made me pause. The comment
there reads:
/* Finally, put up the new prompt to show that we are indeed here.
Also, display_gdb_prompt for the console does some readline magic
which is needed for the console interpreter, at least... */
But, that looks very much like a no-op to me currently:
- the MI interpreter always return false in the prompt hook, meaning
actually display no prompt.
- the interpreter used at that point is still quiet. And the
console/tui interpreters return false in the prompt hook if they're
quiet, meaning actually display no prompt.
The only remaining possible use would then be the readline magic. But
whatever that might have been, it's not reacheable today either,
because display_gdb_prompt returns early, before touching readline if
the interpreter returns false in the display_prompt_p hook.

Ignoring expected and desired differences like whether the prompt is
output after *stoppped records, GDB MI output is still different in
sync and async modes.
In sync mode, when a CLI execution command is entered, the "reason"
field is missing in the *stopped async record. And in async mode, for
some events, like program exits, the corresponding CLI output is
missing in the CLI channel.
Vis, diff between sync vs async modes:
run
^running
*running,thread-id="1"
(gdb)
...
- ~"[Inferior 1 (process 15882) exited normally]\n"
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
- *stopped
+ *stopped,reason="exited-normally"
si
...
(gdb)
~"0x000000000045e033\t29\t memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);\n"
- *stopped,frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
+ *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
(gdb)
In addition, in both cases, when a MI execution command is entered,
and a breakpoint triggers, the event is sent to the console too. But
some events like program exits have the CLI output missing in the CLI
channel:
-exec-run
^running
*running,thread-id="1"
(gdb)
...
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
=thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
- *stopped
+ *stopped,reason="exited-normally"
We'll want to make background commands always possible by default.
IOW, make target-async be the default. But, in order to do that,
we'll need to emulate MI sync on top of an async target. That means
we'll have yet another combination to care for in the testsuite.
Rather than making the testsuite cope with all these differences, I
thought it better to just fix GDB to always have the complete output,
no matter whether it's in sync or async mode.
This is all related to interpreter-exec, and the corresponding uiout
switching. (Typing a CLI command directly in MI is shorthand for
running it through -interpreter-exec console.)
In sync mode, when a CLI command is active, normal_stop is called when
the current interpreter and uiout are CLI's. So print_XXX_reason
prints the stop reason to CLI uiout (only), and we don't show it in
MI.
In async mode the stop event is processed when we're back in the MI
interpreter, so the stop reason is printed directly to the MI uiout.
Fix this by making run control event printing roughly independent of
whatever is the current interpreter or uiout. That is, move these
prints to interpreter observers, that know whether to print or be
quiet, and if printing, which uiout to print to. In the case of the
console/tui interpreters, only print if the top interpreter. For MI,
always print.
Breakpoint hits / normal stops are already handled similarly -- MI has
a normal_stop observer that prints the event to both MI and the CLI,
though that could be cleaned up further in the direction of this
patch.
This also makes all of:
(gdb) foo
and
(gdb) interpreter-exec MI "-exec-foo"
and
(gdb)
-exec-foo
and
(gdb)
-interpreter-exec console "foo"
print as expected.
