mc and TOSTOP terminal attribute
Hi. mc sets TOSTOP flag on slave terminal (subshell.c:220). And I cannot understand why. The comment for that says obvious thing. I've tracked this code down to initial SCM check-in. So commit message too cannot explain reason for this. This flag causes issues with at least gdb debugging of multithreaded programs and check unit tests that do any output. Maybe we just kill this piece of code ? Is anybody aware of it's purpose ? It seems that everything works after I do 'stty -tostop'. -- Aliaksey Kandratsenka alkondrate...@gmail.com ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

I think, the terminal tostop flag is set for prevent background processes from garbling up the interface. Foreground process can do that too if user presses Ctrl-O when something is running in foreground. Let's just stop doing this 'tostop' thing. This way mc's slave terminal will be more compatible with existing and widely used software. In the long term mc should probably steal code from GNU screen or from similar program so that slave terminal has 'real' screen state that's updated independently from mc interface. -- Aliaksey Kandratsenka alkondrate...@gmail.com ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
