problem sourcing GDB script in interactive-mode on
When interactive-mode is not auto, GDB always uses that setting to
determine whether to act as if the input stream is a terminal or not.
However, this setting should only be honored if the input stream is
the standard input stream. Otherwise, we run into trouble while
source-ing a GDB script, as shown below (on x86_64-linux):
% cat script
print 1
print 2
% gdb -q
(gdb) set interactive-mode on
(gdb) source script
(gdb) print 3
$1 = 3
The lack of output and the fact that the "print 3" command returned
a value saved in $1 (as opposed to $3) indicates that the script was
not even evaluated at all.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c (input_from_terminal_p): Restrict the use of interactive_mode
to the case where instream is stdin.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/interact.exp: New testcase.
