[PATCH 1/2] gdb: don't print escape characters when a style is disabled

Andrew Burgess andrew.burgess@embecosm.com

While working on another patch I noticed that if I disable a single
style with, for example:

  set style filename background none
  set style filename foreground none
  set style filename intensity normal

Then in some places escape characters are still injected into the
output stream.  This is a bit of an edge case, and I can't think when
this would actually cause problems, but it still felt like a bit of an
annoyance.

It's especially annoying because depending on how something is printed
then GDB might, or might not, add escape characters.  So this would
not add escape characters if the filename style was disabled:

  fprintf_filtered (file, "%ps",
                    styled_string (file_name_style.style (),
                                   "This is a test"));

But this would add escape characters:

  fprintf_styled (file, file_name_style.style (),
                  "%s", "This is a test");

I tracked this down to some unguarded calls to set_output_style in
utils.c.

In order to test this I have rewritten the gdb.base/style.exp test
script.  The core of the script is now run multiple times.  The first
time the test is run things are as they were before, all styles are
on.

After that though the test is rerun multiple times.  Each time through
a single style is disabled using the 3 explicit set calls listed
above.  I then repeat all the tests, however, I arrange so that the
patterns that expected the now disabled styling expect no styling.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* utils.c (fputs_highlighted): Only call set_output_style when the
	requested style is not the default.
	(fprintf_styled): Likewise.
	(vfprintf_styled): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/style.exp (limited_style): New proc.
	(clean_restart_and_disable): New proc.
	(run_style_tests): New proc.  Most of the old tests from this file
	are now in this proc.
	(test_startup_version_string): New proc.  Reamining test from the
	old file is in this proc.
	(run_all_tests): New proc.
