[PATCH] PR tui/21599: GDB crashes if TUI terminal window is made too small


This problem happens mostly when using TUI mode inside a tmux pane
which is split horizontally.  To reproduce:

1) Enter tmux.  I am assuming that the modifier sequence for your tmux is C-b (the default).

2) Split the pane horizontally (C-b ").

3) Start GDB in TUI mode (gdb -tui) on the upper pane.

4) Resize the upper pane, making it as small as possible (C-b <upper-arrow>, repeatedly).

The problem happens because tmux's pane has a screen height that makes
GDB miscalculate the minimum screen height that can be set by the
terminal.  The solution I found was to first check if this minimum
height is actually negative, and avoid using it if so.  In this case,
TUI can just use the MIN_WIN_HEIGHT define and be done with the
resizing process.

gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	PR tui/21599
	* tui-win.c (tui_resize_all): New variable 'min_screenheight'.
	Use it to avoid resizing the TUI window to an invalid value.
