Pedro Alves 6c400b59d5 PR cli/17828: -batch -ex r breaks terminal
Commit d3d4baed (PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying
help()) had the side effect of causing 'gdb -batch' to leave the
terminal in the wrong state if the program was run.  E.g,.

 $ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 0x00000000004004ff in main ()
 $

If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.

The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled).  But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.

The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:

 "Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
 further input."

but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.

The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.

For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient.  Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better.  Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings.  So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
