Subject: [PATCH 8/8] [gdb/tui] Fix TUI for TERM=ansi
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2023 16:08:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230413140827.19412-9-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230413140827.19412-1-tdevries@suse.de>

With TERM=ansi, when resizing a TUI window from LINES/COLUMNS 31/118
(maximized) to 20/78 (de-maximized), I get a garbled screen and a message:
...
@@ resize done 0, size = 77x20
...
with the resulting width being 77 instead of the expected 78.

[ The discrepancy also manifests in CLI, filed as PR30346. ]

The discrepancy comes from tui_resize_all, where we ask readline for the
screen size:
...
   rl_get_screen_size (&screenheight, &screenwidth);
...

As it happens, when TERM is set to ansi, readline decides that the terminal
cannot auto-wrap lines, and reserves one column to deal with that, and as a
result reports back one less than the actual screen width:
...
$ echo $COLUMNS
78
$ TERM=xterm gdb -ex "show width" -ex q
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 78.
$ TERM=ansi  gdb -ex "show width" -ex q
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 77.
...

In tui_resize_all, we need the actual screen width, and using a screenwidth of
one less that the actual value garbles the screen.

This is currently not causing trouble in testing because we have a workaround
in place in proc Term::resize.

Fix this by:
- detecting when readline reports back less than the actual screen width,
- accordingly setting a new variable readline_hidden_cols,
- using readline_hidden_cols in tui_resize_all to fix the resize problem, and
- removing the workaround in Term::resize.

The test-case gdb.tui/empty.exp serves as regression test.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
