TUI

Hi all,
A small doubt ...

1.
TUI is text-user interface which uses the curses library.
This implies that if you are in the "normal
gdb-intereter" mode ...
none of the TUI functions should get called.
But if we take a trace of ... say "breakpoint
command" ... it enters
into a tui_command_loop.
Could someone please explain this?

2.
Which is the while(1) loop which is responsible for giving
the
interprester prompt. I 've traced this to some extent ...
but not
fully clear where exactly this happens.

This is because you can switch to the TUI mode by using the
CTRL-X CTRL-A key sequence.  You go in the normal mode by
using
the same key sequence. For this to happen and work, the tui
command
loop must be used.
