23 /* Select Graphic Rendition (SGR, "\33[...m") strings. */
24 /* Also Erase in Line (EL) to Right ("\33[K") by default. */
25 /* Why have EL to Right after SGR?
26 -- The behavior of line-wrapping when at the bottom of the
27 terminal screen and at the end of the current line is often
28 such that a new line is introduced, entirely cleared with
29 the current background color which may be different from the
30 default one (see the boolean back_color_erase terminfo(5)
31 capability), thus scrolling the display by one line.
32 The end of this new line will stay in this background color
33 even after reverting to the default background color with
34 "\33[m', unless it is explicitly cleared again with "\33[K"
35 (which is the behavior the user would instinctively expect
36 from the whole thing). There may be some unavoidable
37 background-color flicker at the end of this new line because
38 of this (when timing with the monitor's redraw is just right).
39 -- The behavior of HT (tab, "\t") is usually the same as that of
40 Cursor Forward Tabulation (CHT) with a default parameter
41 of 1 ("\33[I"), i.e., it performs pure movement to the next
42 tab stop, without any clearing of either content or screen
43 attributes (including background color); try
44 printf 'asdfqwerzxcv\rASDF\tZXCV\n'
45 in a bash(1) shell to demonstrate this. This is not what the
46 user would instinctively expect of HT (but is ok for CHT).
47 The instinctive behavior would include clearing the terminal
48 cells that are skipped over by HT with blank cells in the
49 current screen attributes, including background color;
50 the boolean dest_tabs_magic_smso terminfo(5) capability
51 indicates this saner behavior for HT, but only some rare
52 terminals have it (although it also indicates a special
53 glitch with standout mode in the Teleray terminal for which
54 it was initially introduced). The remedy is to add "\33K"
55 after each SGR sequence, be it START (to fix the behavior
56 of any HT after that before another SGR) or END (to fix the
57 behavior of an HT in default background color that would
58 follow a line-wrapping at the bottom of the screen in another
59 background color, and to complement doing it after START).
60 Piping GCC's output through a pager such as less(1) avoids
61 any HT problems since the pager performs tab expansion.
63 Generic disadvantages of this remedy are:
64 -- Some very rare terminals might support SGR but not EL (nobody
65 will use "gcc -fdiagnostics-color" on a terminal that does not
66 support SGR in the first place).
67 -- Having these extra control sequences might somewhat complicate
68 the task of any program trying to parse "gcc -fdiagnostics-color"
69 output in order to extract structuring information from it.
70 A specific disadvantage to doing it after SGR START is:
71 -- Even more possible background color flicker (when timing
72 with the monitor's redraw is just right), even when not at the
73 bottom of the screen.
74 There are no additional disadvantages specific to doing it after
75 SGR END.
77 It would be impractical for GCC to become a full-fledged
78 terminal program linked against ncurses or the like, so it will
79 not detect terminfo(5) capabilities. */

108 /* The context and logic for choosing default --color screen attributes
109 (foreground and background colors, etc.) are the following.
110 -- There are eight basic colors available, each with its own
111 nominal luminosity to the human eye and foreground/background
112 codes (black [0 %, 30/40], blue [11 %, 34/44], red [30 %, 31/41],
113 magenta [41 %, 35/45], green [59 %, 32/42], cyan [70 %, 36/46],
114 yellow [89 %, 33/43], and white [100 %, 37/47]).
115 -- Sometimes, white as a background is actually implemented using
116 a shade of light gray, so that a foreground white can be visible
117 on top of it (but most often not).
118 -- Sometimes, black as a foreground is actually implemented using
119 a shade of dark gray, so that it can be visible on top of a
120 background black (but most often not).
121 -- Sometimes, more colors are available, as extensions.
122 -- Other attributes can be selected/deselected (bold [1/22],
123 underline [4/24], standout/inverse [7/27], blink [5/25], and
124 invisible/hidden [8/28]). They are sometimes implemented by
125 using colors instead of what their names imply; e.g., bold is
126 often achieved by using brighter colors. In practice, only bold
127 is really available to us, underline sometimes being mapped by
128 the terminal to some strange color choice, and standout best
129 being left for use by downstream programs such as less(1).
130 -- We cannot assume that any of the extensions or special features
131 are available for the purpose of choosing defaults for everyone.
132 -- The most prevalent default terminal backgrounds are pure black
133 and pure white, and are not necessarily the same shades of
134 those as if they were selected explicitly with SGR sequences.
135 Some terminals use dark or light pictures as default background,
136 but those are covered over by an explicit selection of background
137 color with an SGR sequence; their users will appreciate their
138 background pictures not be covered like this, if possible.
139 -- Some uses of colors attributes is to make some output items
140 more understated (e.g., context lines); this cannot be achieved
141 by changing the background color.
142 -- For these reasons, the GCC color defaults should strive not
143 to change the background color from its default, unless it's
144 for a short item that should be highlighted, not understated.
145 -- The GCC foreground color defaults (without an explicitly set
146 background) should provide enough contrast to be readable on any
147 terminal with either a black (dark) or white (light) background.
148 This only leaves red, magenta, green, and cyan (and their bold
149 counterparts) and possibly bold blue. */
