Don't set terminal flags twice in a row
I find this odd 'set flags twice' ancient code and comment annoyingly distracting. It may well be that the reason for the double-set was simply a copy/paste mistake, and that we've been doing this for decades [1] for no good reason. Let's just get rid of it, and if we find a real reason, add it back with a comment explaining why it's necessary. [1] This double-set was already in gdb 2.4 / 1988, the oldest release we have sources for, and imported in git. From 'git show 7b4ac7e1ed2c inflow.c': +void +terminal_inferior () +{ + if (terminal_is_ours) /* && inferior_thisrun_terminal == 0) */ + { + fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior); + fcntl (0, F_SETFL, tflags_inferior); The "is there a reason" comment was added in 1993, by: commit a88797b5eadf31e21804bc820429028bf708fbcd Author: Fred Fish <fnf@specifix.com> AuthorDate: Thu Aug 5 01:33:45 1993 +0000 gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-06 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * inflow.c (child_terminal_inferior, child_terminal_ours_1): No longer set flags twice in row.
