Fix PR20494 - User input stops being echoed in CLI
This patch fixes a problem that problem triggers if you start an inferior, e.g., with the "start" command, in a UI created with the new-ui command, and then run a foreground execution command in the main UI. Once the program stops for the latter command, typing in the main UI no longer echoes back to the user. The problem revolves around this: - gdb_has_a_terminal computes its result lazily, on first call. that is what saves gdb's initial main UI terminal state (the UI associated with stdin): our_terminal_info.ttystate = serial_get_tty_state (stdin_serial); This is the state that target_terminal_ours() restores. - In this scenario, the gdb_has_a_terminal function happens to be first ever called from within the target_terminal_init call in startup_inferior: (top-gdb) bt #0 gdb_has_a_terminal () at src/gdb/inflow.c:157 #1 0x000000000079db22 in child_terminal_init_with_pgrp () at src/gdb/inflow.c:217 [...] #4 0x000000000065bacb in target_terminal_init () at src/gdb/target.c:456 #5 0x00000000004676d2 in startup_inferior () at src/gdb/fork-child.c:531 [...] #7 0x000000000046b168 in linux_nat_create_inferior () at src/gdb/linux-nat.c:1112 [...] #9 0x00000000005f20c9 in start_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/infcmd.c:657 If the command to start the inferior is issued on the main UI, then readline will have deprepped the terminal when we reach the above, and the problem doesn't appear. If however the command is issued on a non-main UI, then when we reach that gdb_has_a_terminal call, the main UI's terminal state is still set to whatever readline has sets it to in rl_prep_terminal, which happens to have echo disabled. Later, when the following synchronous execution command finishes, we'll call target_terminal_ours to restore gdb's the main UI's terminal settings, and that restores the terminal state with echo disabled... Conceptually, the fix is to move the gdb_has_a_terminal call earlier, to someplace during GDB initialization, before readline/ncurses have had a chance to change terminal settings. Turns out that "set_initial_gdb_ttystate" is exactly such a place. I say conceptually, because the fix actually inlines the gdb_has_a_terminal part that saves the terminal state in set_initial_gdb_ttystate and then simplifies gdb_has_a_terminal, since there's no point in making gdb_has_a_terminal do lazy computation. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-08-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/20494 * inflow.c (our_terminal_info, initial_gdb_ttystate): Update comments.
