Commit d7e747318f4d04 ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") regressed the TUI's command window.
Newlines miss doing a "carriage return", resulting in output like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(gdb) helpList of classes of commands:
aliases -- Aliases of other commands
breakpoints -- Making program stop at certain points
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the commit mentioned above, the default ui_file->to_write
implementation had a hack that would defer into the ui_file->to_fputs
method. The TUI's ui_file did not implement the to_write method, so
all writes would end up going to the ncurses window via tui_file_fputs
-> tui_puts.
After the commit above, the hack is gone, but the TUI's ui_file still
does not implement the ui_file::write method. Since tui_file inherits
from stdio_file, writing to a tui_file ends up doing fwrite on the
FILE stream the TUI is "associated" with, via stdio_file::write,
instead of writing to the ncurses window.
The fix is to have tui_file override the "write" method.
New test included.
