- Subject: Fix tui compilation with Solaris libcurses (PR tui/21482)
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
On both mainline and the 8.0 branch, gdb compilation fails on Solaris 10
with the native libcurses:
* Initially, compilation failed like this:

make[2]: *** [Makefile:1927: tui-disasm.o] Error 1
It turned out this happens because <curses.h> has
#define clear() wclear(stdscr)
This can be avoided by defining NOMACROS, which the patch below does
for solaris2.*.
* Even with this workaround, compilation fails in gdb/tui for several
instances of the same problem:

extern int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *, int, int, char *);
^~~~~~~~~
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1927: tui-winsource.o] Error 1
Unlike ncurses, <curses.h> declares
extern int mvwaddstr(WINDOW *, int, int, char *);
i.e. the last arg is char *, not const char *.
The patch fixes this by casting the last arg to mvwaddstr to char *,
as was recently done on mainline in a newterm() call (the only
difference between 8.0 and mainline gdb/tui).
With those changes, gdb on the 8.0 branch compiles cleanly on
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.10 with native curses and amd64-pc-solaris2.12
with bundled ncurses (well, almost: on Solaris 12 ncurses in
/usr/include is used, but gdb linked against -lcurses which fails:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
wattr_on tui-wingeneral.o
wattr_off tui-wingeneral.o
but that's a different and preexisting problem).
Ok for mainline and 8.0 branch?
