[PATCH 08/24] Add the "tui new-layout" command

Tom Tromey tom@tromey.com
Sat Jan 4 18:34:00 GMT 2020


This adds a new command, "tui new-layout".  This command can be used
to define a new TUI window layout.

The command is used like:

(gdb) tui new-layout name src 1 regs 1 locator 0 cmd 1

The first argument is the name of the layout.  In this example, it is
"name", so the new layout could be seen by "layout name".

Subsequent arguments come in pairs, where the first item in a pair is
the name of a window, and the second item in a pair is the window's
weight.  A weight is just an integer -- a window's allocated size is
proportional to the total of the weights given.  So, in the above
example, all windows will have the same size (the locator's weight
does not matter, because it has fixed height).
