[gdb/tui] Fix TUI resizing for TERM=ansi
With TERM=ansi, when resizing a TUI window from LINES/COLUMNS 31/118 (maximized) to 20/78 (de-maximized), I get a garbled screen (that ^L doesn't fix) and a message: ... @@ resize done 0, size = 77x20 ... with the resulting width being 77 instead of the expected 78. [ The discrepancy also manifests in CLI, filed as PR30346. ] The discrepancy comes from tui_resize_all, where we ask readline for the screen size: ... rl_get_screen_size (&screenheight, &screenwidth); ... As it happens, when TERM is set to ansi, readline decides that the terminal cannot auto-wrap lines, and reserves one column to deal with that, and as a result reports back one less than the actual screen width: ... $ echo $COLUMNS 78 $ TERM=xterm gdb -ex "show width" -ex q Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 78. $ TERM=ansi gdb -ex "show width" -ex q Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 77. ... In tui_resize_all, we need the actual screen width, and using a screenwidth of one less than the actual value garbles the screen. This is currently not causing trouble in testing because we have a workaround in place in proc Term::resize. If we disable the workaround: ... - stty columns [expr {$_cols + 1}] < $::gdb_tty_name + stty columns $_cols < $::gdb_tty_name ... and dump the screen we get the same type of screen garbling: ... 0 +---------------------------------------+| 1 || 2 || 3 || ... Another way to reproduce the problem is using command "maint info screen". After starting gdb with TERM=ansi, entering TUI, and issuing the command, we get: ... Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 78. ... and after maximizing and demaximizing the window we get: ... Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 77. ... If we use TERM=xterm, we do get the expected 78. Fix this by: - detecting when readline will report back less than the actual screen width, - accordingly setting a new variable readline_hidden_cols, - using readline_hidden_cols in tui_resize_all to fix the resize problem, and - removing the workaround in Term::resize. The test-case gdb.tui/empty.exp serves as regression test. I've applied the same fix in tui_async_resize_screen, the new test-case gdb.tui/resize-2.exp serves as a regression test for that change. Without that fix, we have: ... FAIL: gdb.tui/resize-2.exp: again: gdb width 80 ... Tested on x86_64-linux. PR tui/30337 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30337
