This is OK with me.
A couple questions though:
The "cup" check is there to make sure that e.g., starting GDB
in a shell within emacs doesn't result in a messed up session.
Did you try that? I imagine that cases like when stdin is a
pipe, like e.g., when starting mingw gdb in a cygwin shell
or in a cygwin ssh session, may result in a messed up screen.
I mildly wonder whether pdcurses works here as is without
this patch, thus whether the #ifdef check should distinguish
ncurses from pdcurses somehow. IIUC, some people build with
pdcurses instead of GNU ncurses.
Thanks,
Pedro Alves
