It fixes the problems in the command window, so I think we should
apply this if no better ideas are brought up.

But the problems in the source window are not solved by this patch,
they have other reasons.  I debugged almost all of the problems I'm
aware of, please see the annotated patches below.  If they look
reasonable, I will push them.

After these patches, I have only one more problem: horizontal
scrolling of the source window.  First, the first press of left-arrow
doesn't have any effect; and second, scrolling draws TAB characters
incorrectly, it treats each TAB as if it took a single column on the
screen, so text after a TAB jumps by 8 columns when you scroll instead
of moving by one column.  I hope to have solution for this tomorrow.

Here are the patches for the other problems:

1. The first patch fixes the problem noticed by Pedro: pressing DOWN
arrow in the command window doesn't scroll the source window.  This is
because we don't initialize the s->nlines field, and then
tui_vertical_source_scroll thinks we are off the chart.  This fixes
that:

I think this should return false if open_source_file fails?  I.e., like this:

	      if (s->line_charpos == 0)
		{
		  scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s);
		  if (desc.get () < 0)
                    return false;
		  find_source_lines (s, desc.get ());

Otherwise this LGTM.  I see get_plain_source_lines has similar
code, so my immediate thought was to move that to a helper function,
but there's a difference that makes that unviable -- get_plain_source_lines
always wants to open the source file first, while here we can avoid
it unless line_charpos is 0.

Thanks,

Makes sense to me.  I confirm this fixes it for me too.

How could it fail if input.is_open returns non-zero?  Are you thinking
about some race, whereby something deletes the file after the
constructor for 'input' returns?

Right.  Also, I originally hoped std::ifstream will have a way to get
at the underlying file descriptor, but no such luck, AFAICT.

Yes, something like that.  The possibility is small, but non-zero
that it could fail.  And if it does, we end up with s->nlines
uninitialized again.

Yeah, I believe GNU has a non-standard way for that, but it's not portable.
(And not worth the bother to #ifdef here for that, IMHO.

I don't really like having to open the file like this on every step, and
especially not just do call some other function for its side-effects.
However, this is the status quo ante, so the patch seems fine; and I
made a note to fix this up eventually.

Thanks, pushed to both branches.

OK, pushed with that change to both branches.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I get an AddressSanitizer failure, and bisecting points to this commit.

I simply "start" an executable, and there is a use-after-free happening when
trying to print the stop location.  See the dump below.

2. The fix for avoiding to overwrite the source window frame is
simple: revert 4a3045920.  I don't really understand why that change
was made: AFAIU, wclrtoeol clears to the end of the window line, and
cannot be told to clear only part of the line.

3. This patch fixes another problem noticed by Pedro: the first time
you type UP or DOWN arrow in the command window, GDB should scroll the
source window, but instead it displays the line number and the file
name in the command window(?).  What happens there is that the first
time we call tui_ui_out::do_field_int, it doesn't initialize m_line,
because m_start_of_line is -1, as set by the constructor; and then the
following call to tui_ui_out::do_field_string falls back to
cli_ui_out::do_field_string because m_line is zero.  The fix below is
perhaps somewhat ad-hoc, mainly because I couldn't understand the
semantics of the values of m_start_of_line, especially its
non-positive values; please consider documenting them in the header.
Maybe if someone explains the semantics, I could come up with a more
sound patch (or conclude that the below is TRT).  Also, it looks like
the second test for m_line > 0 in tui_ui_out::do_field_string is
redundant?
