If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3a2b2eb55681158d3e3ef464fbf47574cf0c517c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nick black <dankamongmen@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 04:56:15 -0400 Subject: console: consume APC, DM, DCS From: nick black <dankamongmen@xxxxxxxxx> commit 3a2b2eb55681158d3e3ef464fbf47574cf0c517c upstream. The Linux console's VT102 implementation already consumes OSC ("Operating System Command") sequences, probably because that's how palette changes are transmitted. In addition to OSC, there are three other major clases of ANSI control strings: APC ("Application Program Command"), PM ("Privacy Message"), and DCS ("Device Control String"). They are handled similarly to OSC in terms of termination. Source: vt100.net Add three new enumerated states, one for each of these types. All three are handled the same way right now--they simply consume input until terminated. I hope to expand upon this firmament in the future. Add new predicate ansi_control_string(), returning true for any of these states. Replace explicit checks against ESosc with calls to this function. Transition to these states appropriately from the escape initiation (ESesc) state. This was motivated by the following Notcurses bugs: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/2050 https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/1828 https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/2069 where standard VT sequences are not consumed by the Linux console. It's not necessary that the Linux console *support* these sequences, but it ought *consume* these well-specified classes of sequences. Tested by sending a variety of escape sequences to the console, and verifying that they still worked, or were now properly consumed. Verified that the escapes were properly terminated at a generic level. Verified that the Notcurses tools continued to show expected output on the Linux console, except now without escape bleedthrough.
