Subject: [PATCHv2 1/6] gdb/tui: convert a window handle `if` into an `assert`
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:47:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <06623277fe8eeb0932593f7a43589f3b4ce22294.1783676703.git.aburgess@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783676703.git.aburgess@redhat.com>

It should only be possible to call tui_win_info::refresh_window on a
window with a valid handle member.  To do otherwise would suggest
we're trying to draw to the screen a window which GDB doesn't think is
part of the current layout, which is just wrong.

Currently tui_win_info::refresh_window guards its content with an
`if (handle != NULL)`, but this can be changed to an assert.

A similar assert can be added to
tui_source_window_base::refresh_window, there's no `if` in this
function, which only backs up the reasoning in the first paragraph.

There should be no user-visible changes after this commit.
