From: Joel Brobecker Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 18:56:43 +0000 (+0000) Subject: move handing of "set interactive-mode" to gdb_has_a_terminal X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7bfc943420917444b86391e4f7bf96e79150aa21;p=binutils-gdb.git move handing of "set interactive-mode" to gdb_has_a_terminal The real purpose of this setting is really to override what the debugger would otherwise guess from checking the stdin settings. So it seems more natural to see this setting being handled inside gdb_has_a_terminal rather than input_is_terminal (which checks for other things, such as whether the input is stdin, for instance). This patch also adjust the command help and the associated section in the GDB Manual to be a little clearer about that. gdb/ChangeLog: * inflow.c: Include "gdbcmd.h". (interactive_mode): New static global, moved here from top.c. (show_interactive_mode): New function, moved here from top.c. use gdb_has_a_terminal instead of input_from_terminal_p to determine the current mode. (gdb_has_a_terminal): Add handling of the "iteractive-mode" setting. (_initialize_inflow): Add the "set/show interactive-mode" commands. Moved here from top.c, after having adjusted slightly the help text. * top.c (interactive_mode, show_interactive_mode): Delete, moved to inflow.c. (input_from_terminal_p): Remove handling of "interactive-mode" setting, moved to infow.c. (init_main): Remove creation of the "set/show interactive-mode" commands, moved to inflow.c. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Other Misc Settings): Rework part of the documentation of the "set interactive mode" command. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 0ab1295be81..0e430d1b6a3 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,22 @@ +2011-01-21 Joel Brobecker + + * inflow.c: Include "gdbcmd.h". + (interactive_mode): New static global, moved here from top.c. + (show_interactive_mode): New function, moved here from top.c. + use gdb_has_a_terminal instead of input_from_terminal_p to + determine the current mode. + (gdb_has_a_terminal): Add handling of the "iteractive-mode" + setting. + (_initialize_inflow): Add the "set/show interactive-mode" + commands.
