This makes it possible to use the colored output of commands, e.g. for
a custom TuiWindow.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* cli/cli-script.c (execute_control_commands_to_string): Use
	styled argument.
	* cli/cli-script.h (execute_control_commands_to_string): Add
	styled argument.
	* python/python.c (execute_gdb_command): Parse "styled" argument.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

2020-12-29  Hannes Domani  <ssbssa@yahoo.de>

	* python.texi (Basic Python): Document "styled" argument.

[PATCH 12/22] Add optional full_window argument to TuiWindow.write

[Hannes Domani]

To prevent flickering when first calling erase, then write, this new
argument indicates that the passed string contains the full contents of
the window.  This fills every unused cell of the window with a space, so
it's not necessary to call erase beforehand.

[PATCH 18/22] Update the source location with Frame.select

[Hannes Domani]

If the optional argument is True, then the current source location is
also updated, the same as if 'frame #' were used.
With this, a following 'list' call will show the source location of the
current frame instead of the previous one, and the TUI source window is
also updated.

I think this leaves out a lot of information.  You need to mention
that `styled` is optional, and that the default is false.  You should
also be explicit that when `to_string` is false `styled` is ignored,
something like:

  The optional argument @var{styled} defaults to @code{True}.  If both
  @var{to_string} and @var{styled} are @code{True}, then the returned
  string also contains the ANSI terminal escape styling sequences used
  for colored output.  If @var{to_string} is @code{False} then
  @var{styled} is ignored.

That `from_tty` and `to_string` are int is a legacy of GDB's past. The
new `styled` should be bool.

I guess what is going on here is that this is parsing the "info display"
output, and other patches arrange to disable the ordinary display.

I think the Python hook idea would be preferable.
"display" could pass a gdb.Value to Python, along with format info (or a
list of these).

What do you think?

Re: [PATCH 12/22] Add optional full_window argument to TuiWindow.write

This seems reasonable to me.  I suppose the idea is that if you're
updating the window, and do w.erase() followed by a write, it will flicker.

At first I thought maybe this should be a new method, but in the end it
seems fine this way.

I'm not sure this is the correct way to do this.
Maybe you need to do what frame_command_core does:

  if (get_selected_frame () != prev_frame)
    gdb::observers::user_selected_context_changed.notify (USER_SELECTED_FRAME);
