Don't set terminal flags twice in a row
I find this odd 'set flags twice' ancient code and comment annoyingly
distracting. It may well be that the reason for the double-set was
simply a copy/paste mistake, and that we've been doing this for
decades [1] for no good reason. Let's just get rid of it, and if we
find a real reason, add it back with a comment explaining why it's
necessary.
[1] This double-set was already in gdb 2.4 / 1988, the oldest release
we have sources for, and imported in git. From 'git show
7b4ac7e1ed2c
inflow.c':
+void
+terminal_inferior ()
+{
+ if (terminal_is_ours) /* && inferior_thisrun_terminal == 0) */
+ {
+ fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior);
+ fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior);
The "is there a reason" comment was added in 1993, by:
