sqlite3 not being built with libreadline

sqlite3 not being built with libreadline

[Kenneth Smith]

Hello,

sqlite3 version 3.11.0-1 is not linked to libreadline:

$ ldd /usr/bin/sqlite3
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x772b0000)
        KERNEL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x741a0000)
        KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/KERNELBASE.dll
(0x75990000)

Neither was 3.10.

A google search came up with a similar occurrence in 2013, so
presumably it is meant to have readline support...

This probably dates back to this commit:
    <http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/ec27ab0eb3a1ee08>
SQLite links with the linenoise library by default now
instead of libreadline.

Is there any functionality in libreadline which is not
in linenoise? If so, that would be reason to deviate
from the default build options.

linenoise seems to ignore .inputrc, so yeah, I lost all those settings.

linenoise is not configurable while readline is.  I doubt the added size
is much of a big deal with something as large as sqlite is already.  The
linenoise project itself suggests using readline if it's available and
linenoise if readline is not.

This is a convincing argument for me. I'll provide a new build (3.11.0-2)
next week.
