linux-0.11调试教程，退格键的调用过程（2）

[/root]# ac
[/root]# c

下面的调用过程对应上面的情况，光标位于字符串的中间的时候，非末尾的情况。

rl_redisplay ()

    update_line ()
        delete_chars ()

       output_some_chars ()

/* Delete COUNT characters from the display line. */

static
delete_chars (count)
     int count;
{
  if (count > screenwidth)
    return;

  if (term_DC && *term_DC)
    {
      char *tgoto (), *buffer;
      buffer = tgoto (term_DC, 0, count);
      tputs (buffer, 1, output_character_function);
    }
  else
    {
      if (term_dc && *term_dc)
    while (count--)
      tputs (term_dc, 1, output_character_function);
    }

}

在__iowrite处下断点时的情形：length为0xb

附上涉及的代码：

static
update_line (old, new, current_line)
     register char *old, *new;
     int current_line;
{


...


  else                /* Delete characters from line. */
    {
      /* If possible and inexpensive to use terminal deletion, then do so. */
      if (term_dc && (2 * (ne - nfd)) >= (-lendiff))
    {
      if (lendiff)
        delete_chars (-lendiff); /* delete (diff) characters */

      /* Copy (new) chars to screen from first diff to last match */
      if ((nls - nfd) > 0)
        {
          output_some_chars (nfd, (nls - nfd));
          last_c_pos += (nls - nfd);
        }
    }
...
}

[/root]# c    -->    [/root]# ac        按下a键， length为5     

 [/root]# ac   -->     [/root]# abc  按下b键，length为5

[/root]# abc   -->      [/root]# ac  按下退格键，length为b

  [/root]# abc   -->      [/root]# abc 按下左方向键    length为3

 [/root]# abc    -->       [/root]# abc 按下左方向键  

 [/root]# abc    -->       [/root]# bc 按下退格键 length为7
