- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
There are only two places that deprecated_init_ui_hook is set
(to !NULL) that I can find:
1. In gdbtk, deprecated_init_ui_hook is used to grab a copy of
argv0, but is then immediately set back to NULL, and
2. In windows-nat.c, deprecated_init_ui_hook is used to solve
an order of initialisation problem when creating a command
alias, in this case deprecated_init_ui_hook is left set.
In top.c:quit_confirm we check deprecated_init_ui_hook to detect if
there's a GUI running. For (1) above this will not kick in, but
for (2) it does.... however... I don't see why this is a good thing,
as I understand it the windows-nat.c code is not a GUI frontend for
gdb, but is just "running-gdb-on-windows-hosts". I find it hard to
believe that the shorter, less informative, quit message is really
desired... but maybe I've missed something.
The following patch removes the use of deprecated_init_ui_hook
from quit_confirm, the only change I expect from this is that the
quit message on windows hosts will fall into line with other hosts.
OK to apply?
Thanks,
Andrew
