I am having some problems using the "shell" command in
crash.
If i execute "shell" command in crash, the input commands in the shell
prompt do not get displayed properly. Here is what i see.
crash> shell
mac:/home/raghu # 2a a.out addr.c crash-4.0-3.19 dump
^^^^^entered ls
mac:/home/raghu # llm22:/home/raghu # llm22:/home/raghu # llm22:/home/raghu #
^^^^^enter ^^^^^enter
However, the problem disappears if i execute 'stty echo' or 'reset' in
the shell prompt.
mac:/home/raghu # llm22:/home/raghu #
^^^^entered stty echo
mac:/home/raghu # echo This is fine
This is fine
mac:/home/raghu #
Also, the problem is not found if i run crash in gdb.
The problem is reproducible in the latest version of crash, crash-4.0-3.19.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Don't use it.
It's actually the built-in gdb's "shell" command that's the
problem.
The command should be put on the "prohibited_list" array in
the top-level gdb_interface.c file.
To get into a shell, just enter "|" or "!" on the crash command
line. I should better explain that capability better in the
"help output" page.
I'll do both in the next release.
Thanks,
