gdb/tui: asm window handles invalid memory and scrolls better
This started as a patch to enable the asm window to handle attempts to disassemble invalid memory, but it ended up expanding into a significant rewrite of how the asm window handles scrolling. These two things ended up being tied together as it was impossible to correctly test scrolling into invalid memory when the asm window would randomly behave weirdly while scrolling. Things that should work nicely now; scrolling to the bottom or top of the listing with PageUp, PageDown, Up Arrow, Down Arrow and we should be able to scroll past small areas of memory that don't have symbols associated with them. It should also be possible to scroll to the start of a section even if there's no symbol at the start of the section. Adding tests for this scrolling was a little bit of a problem. First I would have liked to add tests for PageUp / PageDown, but the tuiterm library we use doesn't support these commands right now due to only emulating a basic ascii terminal. Changing this to emulate a more complex terminal would require adding support for more escape sequence control codes, so I've not tried to tackle that in this patch. Next, I would have liked to test scrolling to the start or end of the assembler listing and then trying to scroll even more, however, this is a problem because in a well behaving GDB a scroll at the start/end has no effect. What we need to do is: - Move to start of assembler listing, - Send scroll up command, - Wait for all curses output, - Ensure the assembler listing is unchanged, we're still at the start of the listing. The problem is that there is no curses output, so how long do we wait at step 3? The same problem exists for scrolling to the bottom of the assembler listing. However, when scrolling down you can at least see the end coming, so I added a test for this case, however, this feels like an area of code that is massively under tested. gdb/ChangeLog: PR tui/9765 * minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Update header comment, add extra parameter, and update to store previous symbol when appropriate. * minsyms.h (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Update comment, add extra parameter. * tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_disassemble): Update header comment, remove unneeded parameter, add try/catch around gdb_print_insn, rewrite to add items to asm_lines vector.
