Subject:         * top.c (interactive_mode): New static variable.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=910c5da8fe593c019c041bb7df5760494d6270b2;p=binutils-gdb.git

    * top.c (interactive_mode): New static variable.
        (show_interactive_mode): New function.
        (input_from_terminal_p): If interactive_mode is not auto, then
        use that rather than checking the stdin settings.
        (init_main): Add "set/show interactive-mode" command.
        * NEWS: Add entry for new "set/show interactive-mode" command.

+  Control whether GDB runs in interactive mode (on) or not (off).
+  When in interactive mode, GDB waits for the user to answer all
+  queries.  Otherwise, GDB does not wait and assumes the default
+  answer.  When set to auto (the default), GDB determines which
+  mode to use based on the stdin settings.
