Make command line editing (use of readline) be per UI
Due to the way that readline's API works (based on globals), we can only have one instance of readline in a process. So the goal of this patch is to only allow editing in the main UI, and make sure that only one UI calls into readline. Some MI paths touch readline variables currently, which is bad as that is changing variables that matter for the main console UI. This patch fixes those. This actually fixes a nasty bug -- starting gdb in MI mode ("gdb -i=mi"), and then doing "set editing on" crashes GDB, because MI is not prepared to use readline: set editing on &"set editing on\n" =cmd-param-changed,param="editing",value="on" ^done (gdb) p 1 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler! Aborted (core dumped) The fix for that was to add an interp_proc method to query the interpreter whether it actually supports editing. New test included. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR mi/20034 * cli/cli-interp.c: Include cli-interp.h and event-top.h. (cli_interpreter_resume): Pass 1 to gdb_setup_readline. Set the UI's input_handler here. (cli_interpreter_supports_command_editing): New function. (cli_interp_procs): Install it. * cli/cli-interp.h: New file. * event-top.c (async_command_editing_p): Rename to ... (set_editing_cmd_var): ... this. (change_line_handler): Add parameter 'editing', and use it. Bail early if the interpreter doesn't support editing. Don't touch readline state if editing is off. (gdb_rl_callback_handler_remove, gdb_rl_callback_handler_install) (gdb_rl_callback_handler_reinstall): Assert the current UI is the main UI. (display_gdb_prompt): Don't call gdb_rl_callback_handler_remove if not using readline. Check whether the current UI is using command editing instead of checking the async_command_editing_p global. (set_async_editing_command): Delete. (gdb_setup_readline): Add 'editing' parameter. Only allow editing on the main UI. Don't touch readline state if editing is off. (gdb_disable_readline): Don't touch readline state if editing is off. * event-top.h (gdb_setup_readline): Add 'int' parameter. (set_async_editing_command): Delete declaration.

(set_editing_cmd_var): ... this. * infrun.c (reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup): Check whether the current UI has editing enabled rather than checking the async_command_editing_p global. * interps.c (interp_supports_command_editing): New function. * interps.h (interp_supports_command_editing_ftype): New typedef. (struct interp_procs) <supports_command_editing_proc>: New field. (interp_supports_command_editing): Declare. * mi/mi-interp.c (mi_interpreter_resume): Pass 0 to gdb_setup_readline. Don't clear the async_command_editing_p global. Update comments. * top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line, gdb_readline_wrapper): Check whether the current UI has editing enabled rather than checking the async_command_editing_p global. Don't touch readline state if editing is off. (undo_terminal_modifications_before_exit): Switch to the main UI. Unconditionally call gdb_disable_readline. (set_editing): New function. (show_async_command_editing_p): Rename to ... (show_editing): ... this. Show the state of the current UI. (_initialize_top): Adjust. * top.h (struct ui) <command_editing>: New field. * tui/tui-interp.c: Include cli/cli-interp.h. (tui_resume): Pass 1 to gdb_setup_readline. Set the UI's input_handler.
