no, after some more debugging I identified the place where these chars are
displayed: in the readline.c file:
/* update the displayed command line */
static void readline_update(ReadLineState *rs)
{
int i, delta, len;
if (rs->cmd_buf_size != rs->last_cmd_buf_size ||
memcmp(rs->cmd_buf, rs->last_cmd_buf, rs->cmd_buf_size) != 0) {
for(i = 0; i < rs->last_cmd_buf_index; i++) {
rs->printf_func(rs->opaque, "\033[D");
}
...
}
I could not find a configuration to disable this, so I completely removed the
content of this function and the Eclipse console is now free of funny chars.
as I said, probably the qemu readline implementation assumes all consoles in
the world are vt100 terminals, which is obviously too optimistic, a notable
exception being exactly the Eclipse console.
