Subject: [gdb FYI-patch] callback-mode readline-6.0 regression
Hi Chet,
FSF GDB currently ships bundled with readline-5.2 which works fine.
But using --with-system-readline and readline-6.0-patchlevel4 has
a regression:
readline-5.2: Run `gdb -nx -q' and type CTRL-C:
(gdb) Quit
(gdb) _
readline-6.0: Run `gdb -nx -q' and type CTRL-C:
(gdb) _
= nothing happens (it gets buffered and executed later)
(It does also FAIL on gdb.gdb/selftest.exp.)
It is because GDB waits in its own poll() mainloop and readline uses via
rl_callback_handler_install and rl_callback_handler_remove. This way the
readline internal variable _rl_interrupt_immediately remains 0 and CTRL-C gets
only stored to _rl_caught_signal but not executed.
Seen in rl_signal_handler even if _rl_interrupt_immediately is set and
_rl_handle_signal is called then the signal is still stored to
_rl_caught_signal. In the _rl_interrupt_immediately case it should not be
stored when it was already processed.
rl_signal_handler does `_rl_interrupt_immediately = 0;' - while I am not aware
of its meaning it breaks the nest-counting of other routines which do
`_rl_interrupt_immediately++;' and `_rl_interrupt_immediately--;' possibly
creating problematic `_rl_interrupt_immediately == -1'.
`_rl_interrupt_immediately' is an internal variable, how it could be accessed
by a readline application? (OK, maybe it should not be used.)
Attaching a current GDB-side patch but it must access readline internal
variable _rl_caught_signal and it is generally just a workaround. Could you
please include support for signals in this asynchronous mode in readline-6.1?
I find it would be enough to make RL_CHECK_SIGNALS public?
GDB: No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora12-linux-gnu.
But this is not a patch intended to be accepted.
Thanks,
Jan
