This adds some output styling to the CLI. A style is currently a foreground color, a background color, and an intensity (dim or bold). (This list could be expanded depending on terminal capabilities.) A style can be applied while printing. For ui-out, this is done by passing the style constant as an argument. For low-level cases, fprintf_styled and fputs_styled are provided. Users can control the style via a number of new set/show commands. In the interest of not typing many nearly-identical documentation strings, I automated this. On the down side, this is not very i18n-friendly. I've chose some default colors to use. I think it would be good to enable this by default, so that when users start the new gdb, they will see the new feature. Stylizing is done if TERM is set and is not "dumb". This could be improved when the TUI is available by using the curses has_colors call. That is, the lowest layer could call this without committing to using curses everywhere; see my other patch for TUI colorizing. I considered adding a new "set_style" method to ui_file. However, because the implementation had to interact with the pager code, I didn't take this approach. But, one idea might be to put the isatty check there and then have it defer to the lower layers. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-12-28 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * utils.h (set_output_style, fprintf_styled) (fputs_styled): Declare. * utils.c (applied_style, desired_style): New globals.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
