GDB backspaces show as a spaces in buildroot 2018.08 #57
Description
At 47e9d89 easy to reproduce: just ./run-gdb, get the full path, and run it bare:
./out/buildroot/build/default/x86_64/host/usr/bin/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gdb
so definitely not a Python subprocess problem thank God (TM).
The backspaces do take effect, just in the terminal instead of showing that characters were erased, it just shows as space.
A fix for this on RHE went in at: https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/commit/package/ncurses?id=b35ad5d0b45e5288f4019aeaa06b87ef0f2ef016 but we already have that commit as it went into 2018.08.
Reproduce on lkmc v3.0, which is also buildroot 2018.08.
Edit clean Buildroot master reproduction make qemu_x86_64_defconfig + enable GDB:
- 2018.08: fails
- master 6cccfe64cd222328d19f4c1895ccdcea4947adad (post 2019.02): works
Yes! Just git pull then as usual. Can't find the commit. Don't care ;-)
