Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [gdb/tui] Allow second tui enable if first fails
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:13:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429111325.1600061-4-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429111325.1600061-1-tdevries@suse.de>

Commit fb23d7ba4a2 ("[gdb/tui] Handle error in tui_enable") handles a
particular error during tui_enable, but doesn't allow trying to enable TUI
again.

I tried to get this to work, but didn't manage because I didn't understand the
interaction between endwin and the "tui_batch_rendering defer" destructor:
- first endwin restores the shell terminal mode
- then the defer destructor calls doupdate, restoring program shell mode.

Fix this by using reset_shell_mode instead.
