Currently when we start an inferior we have the inferior inherit our
terminal state. Under TUI, our terminal is highly modified by ncurses
and readline. So when starting an inferior under TUI, the inferior will
have a highly modified terminal state which will interfere with standard
I/O. For example,
$ gdb gdb
(gdb) break main
(gdb) run
(gdb) print puts ("a\nb")
a
b
$1 = 4
(gdb) [enter TUI mode]
(gdb) run
(gdb) [exit TUI mode]
(gdb) print puts ("a\nb")
a
b
$2 = 4
(gdb) print puts ("a\r\nb\r")
a
b
$3 = 6
As you can see, when we start the inferior under the regular interface,
puts() prints the text properly. But when we start the inferior under
TUI, puts() does not print the text properly. This is because when we
start the inferior under TUI it inherits our current terminal state
which has been modified by ncurses to, among other things, require an
explicit \r\n to print a new line. As a result the inferior performs
standard I/O in an unexpected way.
Because of this discrepancy, it doesn't seem like a good idea to have
the inferior inherit our _current_ terminal state for it may have been
modified by readline and/or ncurses. Instead, we should have the
inferior inherit a pristine snapshot of our terminal state taken before
readline or ncurses have had a chance to alter it. This enables the
inferior to run in a more accurate way, more closely mimicking the
program's behavior had it run standalone. And it fixes the above
mentioned issue.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* terminal.h (set_initial_gdb_ttystate): Declare.
* inflow.c (initial_gdb_ttystate): New static variable.
(set_initial_gdb_ttystate): New setter.
(child_terminal_init_with_pgrp): Copy initial_gdb_ttystate
instead of our current terminal state.
* top.c (gdb_init): Call set_initial_gdb_ttystate.
The TUI terminal state becomes corrupted (e.g. key sequences such as
Alt_F and Alt_B no longer work) when one attaches to an inferior process
(via "run" or "attach") from within TUI. This terminal corruption
remains until you switch out of TUI mode.
This happens because the terminal state is not properly saved when
switching to and out from TUI mode. Although the functions tui_enable()
and tui_disable() both call the function target_terminal_save_ours() to
save the terminal state, this function is a no-op unless GDB has already
attached to an inferior process. This is because only the "native"
target has a useful implementation of target_terminal_save_ours()
(namely child_terminal_save_ours()) and we only have the "native" target
in our target vector if GDB has already attached to an inferior process.
So without an inferior process, switching to and from TUI mode does not
actually save the terminal state. Therefore when you attach to an
inferior process from within TUI mode, the proper terminal state is not
restored (after swapping from the inferior's terminal back to the GDB
terminal).
To fix this we just have to ensure that the terminal state is always
being properly saved when switching from and to TUI mode. To achieve
this, this patch removes the polymorphic function
target_terminal_save_ours() and replaces it with a regular function
gdb_save_tty_state() that always saves the terminal state.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu by running "make check", no new
regressions.
