This patch is an outgrowth of that commit shown below.
Many additional potential segmentation faults might be
encountered if interactive commands are opened up to a
user when a '-p' switch has a single non-existent pid.
[ always the 'k', 'L', 'r', 'Y' keys & maybe 'v' too ]
So, this patch will restrict such a loser (oops, user)
to a reduced subset of normal commands until he/she/it
quits then restarts top with something to be displayed
or issues the '=' command overriding that '-p' switch.

This ensures that a single '4' keystroke will reliably

An old PRETEND8CPUS #define was reintroduced & changed
to PRETEND48CPU to better exercise the new '4' and '!'

I'm about to break older top rcfile compatibility when
preserving those two new toggles. And, though this has
happened several times over the years, we never issued
any warnings that such thing was just about to happen.
So, this patch corrects the long standing shortcoming.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

When implementing that earlier '4' toggle, in response
to the issue referenced below, I got to thinking about
those environments with massively parallel processors.
Such environments may not benefit from the '4' toggle.
So, I decided to implement a feature that could enable
use of those '1' and/or '4' toggles no matter how many
active processors top may have ultimately encountered.
With the new '!' toggle, adjacent cpus can be combined
to any degree, represented as a single cpu group/line.

Several years after the 'e' & 'E' interactive commands
were introduce to affect memory scaling, an 'E' switch
was added. This was after discovering a dropped Redhat
patch which provided a unique 'M' command line switch.
If only for symmetry it makes sense to offer a similar
command switch ('e') for the Task Area memory scaling.
As was true with 'E', top's help text will show 'e' as
if it were a switch without arguments in order to keep
help text displayed without wrap in an 80x24 terminal.
The man page, however, will show all of the arguments.

The Debian bug referenced below has nothing to do with
locales. In fact, top was made locale independent back
in release 3.3.13 (April, 2018). However, that bug did
reveal some misplaced logic which this patch corrects.
Prompted by the Qualys audit, all rcfile field strings
were checked for potential duplicates which could only
have resulted from some user's manual/malicious edits.
Unfortunately, that code was executed before top had a
chance to enforce the proper/maximum string length (in
the event an extremely old rcfile had just been read).
This created some potential string overrun references.
In top's original 3.3.15 implementation, the potential
overrun extended for 15 characters. That is the number
of field characters added with 3.3.9 (December, 2013).
But, since strchr() was used, no error exit was taken.
In the revised 3.3.16 implementation, the strchr() was
replaced with '&w->rc.fieldscur[n]'. This held overrun
to a single position while producing an error message.
So, this commit just moves that logic to a point where
fieldscur is guaranteed to be longer than EU_MAXPFLGS.

This patch will eliminate a bug which is unique to our
newlib branch. It's extremely rare and only happens if
a search ('L'/'&') is initiated during the period when
fields are currently being auto-sized (AUTOX_MODE on).
This bug surfaces as either all zero results for tasks
displayed or a segmentation fault, depending upon what
fields were activated. It is caused by the timing of a
call to the <pids> 'reset' function. When called after
a task refresh, but before do_key(), this bug appears.
So this patch just ensures that 'reset' will be called
after do_key() & before the tasks have been refreshed.

A recent issue (and merge request) reminded me of gaps
in top's alternate 'vim' navigation keys support. Some
xterm emulators do not pass the customary strings when
keys were used with the <Ctrl> and/or <Alt> modifiers.
While it was a known problem, this issue/merge request
prompted research into the root cause. As it turns out
the problem is traceable to an X resource known by the
name 'eightBitInput'. When 'true' (the default), a key
pressed in combination with <Alt> will not be preceded
by the <Esc> character. Rather, a single character was
presented (modified via an 'eightBitMeta' X resource).
The following approaches would eliminate this problem:
. start xterm thus: xterm -xrm '*eightBitInput: false'
. use: ~/.Xresources with 'Xterm*eightBitInput: false'
. build xterm with 'configure --enable-meta-sends-esc'
( apparently used for CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, etc. )
. enable xterm's menu via 'configure --enable-toolbar'
( so the user can set the 'Meta Sends Escape' option )
Of course, none of the above steps is desirable from a
user's perspective. So, this patch will add additional
entries to the iokey function's tinfo_tab to represent
strings passed when the <Alt> key does not send <Esc>.
[ hopefully they'll be the same across all platforms ]
Lastly, this patch will also eliminate those redundant
<Atl> + '\', '/', '<' & '>' provisions, which now seem
like overkill and suffer from that same 'eightBitMeta'
xterm problem. And we might as well say goodbye to the
4 '<Alt> + arrow key' table entries (which do not seem
to currently work with any emulator which I can find).

there is no real relationship. At some point one could

In that commit referenced below, a few edge cases were

In a running top, if the user employed 'other filters'
(o/O) or 'user filters' (u/U) proper vertical position
was not ensured. And, while this could be easily fixed
by striking the home/end or up/down arrow keys, it was

From the outset, top has tried to provide some minimal
garbage collection in support of forest view collapse.
For example, with every 'v' keystroke, a check is made
of the currently targeted pids. If all were negative,
which means expanded, that Hide_pid array was emptied.
Recently, yet another efficiency was added wherein the
continuing scan for a targeted pid was terminated when
a match was found. But, one more inefficiency existed.
When a task which was subject to collapse under forest
view mode has disappeared (ended), repeatedly scanning
for such a pid with each iteration makes little sense.
So this commit will negate such targeted pids and thus
avoid scanning every current task looking for a match.
Then, if 'v' is ever stuck at some point in the future
there will be a chance to empty that Hide_pid[] array.

In forest view mode, once a collapsible parent process
and all of its children (if any) have been identified,

The top program has always specified the maximum stack
depth at 'new' time. Then, in those stacks the minimum
number of result structures were used for representing
only fields actually being displayed in the 4 windows.
That, however, complicated all subsequent access since
each field's enumerator then had to be translated into
a relative position when interacting with the library.
This was accomplished by that Fieldstab 'erel' member.
So this patch eliminates an extra level of indirection
by fully exploiting the existing maximum sized stacks.
Now, the enumerators that top uses to represent fields
also represent their relative positions in each stack.
[ for fields not actually displayed, the position in ]

Parent tasks with collapsed children should have their
