Function and address colors are now as expected in the backtrace.
For word wrapping, I could not make it split addresses anymore,
but I still see differences with the 8.2 behaviour,
where the new gdb git+patch still splits filenames or some values.
8.2:
(gdb) bt
#0 proc_in_c () at /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/smallthing/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/info_auto_lang/some_c.c:26
#1 0x0000555555555477 in proc_in_ada ()

git+patch:
(gdb) bt

g/proc_in_ada.adb:22
(gdb)
(in both cases, 'show width' shows 116).
In a top-gdb debugging itself, I e.g. got the 'style' value which is split after FUNCTIO:
Breakpoint 3, cli_ui_out::do_field_string (this=0x562a4563f010, fldno=<optimized out>, width=<optimized out>, align=
ui_noalign, fldname=<optimized out>, string=0x7ffd643d1ac8 "proc_in_ada", style=ui_out_style_kind::FUNCTIO
N) at ../../smallthing/gdb/cli-out.c:174
174 fstyle = function_name_style.style ();
(top-gdb) show width
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 116.
If I change the width, the new gdb gives:
(gdb) set width 40

Note that the behaviour of 8.2 is not always consistent for all commands.
E.g. info breaks in top-gdb gives:
(top-gdb) info break
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43bbbdd0 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...)
at ../../smallthing/gdb/common/errors.c:51
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43ba3510 in info_command(char const*, int)
at ../../smallthing/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:199
silent
return
3 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43ba2610 in cli_ui_out::do_field_string(int, int, ui_align, char const*, char const*, ui_out_style_kind) at ../../smallthing/gdb/cli-out.c:174
breakpoint already hit 2 times
(top-gdb)
So, it splits before the ' at' in the first 2, but uses one single line
for the 3rd breakpoint.
gdb+patch gives:
(top-gdb) info break
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43bbbdd0 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...) at ../../sm
allthing/gdb/common/errors.c:51
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43ba3510 in info_command(char const*, int) at ../../smallthing/gdb/cli/cli
-cmds.c:199
silent
return
3 breakpoint keep y 0x0000562a43ba2610 in cli_ui_out::do_field_string(int, int, ui_align, char const*, char const*, ui_out_style_kind) at ../../smallthing/gdb/cli-out.c:174
breakpoint already hit 4 times
(top-gdb) detach
So, splits in the middle of filenames for the first 2 breakpoints,
and does not split for the 3rd.
