I think "set debugvarobj" has the wrong name.
It ought to be "set debug varobj", like gdb's other debug settings.
This patch makes the change.
I chose not to install deprecated aliases, since this is only a debug
setting; but if someone feels strongly about it I will add them.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

When connecting to a remote system, we use the compare-sections
command to verify that the box is running the code that we think it is
running. Since the system is up and running and *NOT* 'freshly
downloaded without yet executing anything', read-write sections, of
course, differ from what they were in the executable file.
Comparing read-write sections takes time and more importantly the
MIS-MATCHED output is confusing to some users.
The compare-sections command compares all loadable sections including
read-write sections. This patch gives the user the option to compare
just the loadable read-only sections.

This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector
Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers. Native and remote
debugging are covered by this patch.
Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide
SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31).
The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8
(XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7). The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers
are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers. The lower
128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.
There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit
mode and 64-bit mode.

The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:
(gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").
As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.
But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.
Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:
(gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 Yes (*) C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll

Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific
encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings
were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited
capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast
majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure
DWARF approach.
In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF
debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger
handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance
setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive
types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the
compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly
decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array
types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of
the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what
the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's
gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings.
This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate
all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding
will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress.

Read branch trace data incrementally and extend the current trace rather than
discarding it and reading the entire trace buffer each time.
If the branch trace buffer overflowed, we can't extend the current trace so we

Consider the following declarations:
typedef long our_time_t;
our_time_t current_time = 1384395743;
The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer
for variables of type our_time_t. Normally, pretty-printing sniffers
use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer
should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since
it does not apply to integral types.
This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include
the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against
that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer
which displays our variable as follow:
(gdb) print current_time
$1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)

[PATCH] Allow 64-bit enum values
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00772.html
... introduced a change in the gdb.Fields API without documenting it:
| I took a separate approach from the one I took in:
|
| http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00403.html
|
| and removed the overloaded meaning of the bitpos location variable to
| fix PR symtab/7259. In the following patch, I introduce a separate
| field_location union member 'enumval' which can accept LONGEST and
| hence expand enum values to 64-bit signed values. With this change,
| bitpos now only is used for (non-negative) offsets into structures,
| since the other overload of bitpos (range bounds) were already
| separated into struct range_bound.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect that change.

I wanted to find the docs for "catch load" the other day, and I found

... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase.
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.

Unfortunately, UNWIND_NULL_ID is exported to Python as
gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID so we can't really eliminate it.
(I'd assume scripts just check the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason,
and compare it to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NO_REASON. That at most, they'll
pass the result of Frame.unwind_stop_reason to
gdb.frame_stop_reason_string. I'd prefer to just get rid of it, but
because we make an API promise, we get to keep this around for
compatibility, in case a script does refer to gdb.FRAME_UNWIND_NULL_ID
directly.)

Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.
In V4:
- Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
- Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
- "access" -> "accesses".
In V3:
- Rename functions and variables.
- Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
- Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is
transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
transitions cause code cache invalidation.
V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it
here.

This patch fixes PR c++/16117.
gdb has an extension so that users can use expressions like FILE::NAME
to choose a variable of the given name from the given file. The bug
is that this extension takes precedence over ordinary C++ expressions
of the same form. You might think this is merely hypothetical, but
now that C++ headers commonly do not use an extension, it is more
common.
This patch fixes the bug by making two related changes. First, it
changes gdb to prefer the ordinary C++ meaning of a symbol over the
extended meaning. Second, it arranges for single-quoting of the
symbol to indicate a preference for the extension.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
New test case included.

Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"

Rather than having -list-features report support for the GDB/MI

and the GDB/MI command providing the list of Ada exceptions with

This patch does some cleanups, removing some language-related stuff.
Note that mi_cmd_var_info_expression uses varobj_language_string,
which is redundant, because we can get language name from
lang->la_natural_name.
varobj_language_string doesn't have "Ada", which looks like a bug to
me. With this patch applied, this problem doesn't exist, because the

Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

This patch adds documentation for the new GDB/MI commands "-catch-assert"
and "-catch-exception", meant to provide the same functionality as
the "catch assert", "catch exception" and "catch exception unhandled"
CLI commands.
In the GDB Manual, there was already a section for catchpoint comments,
so that seemed like a natural place to document the new commands. But
commands related to a given concept seem to have traditionally been
organized alphabetically, and I didn't want future commands to break
down logical pairing of various commands. For instance, "-catch-load"
and "-catch-unload" are quite "distant" from each other, and it is easy
to imagine a new comment which would alphabetically fall in between,
causing them to be separated. So I introduced subsections to prevent
that from happening.

* NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "-catch-assert" and
"-catch-exception" GDB/MI commands.

This patch renames the "set/show remotebaud" commands into
"set/show serial baud", and moves its implementation into serial.c.
It also moves the "baud_rate" global from top.c to serial.c, where

of target.h).
And to facilitate the transition to the new setting name, this
patch also preserves the old commands, and marks them as deprecated
to alert the users of the change.

will hold the signal number when the inferior terminates due to the

I've made modifications on infrun.c:handle_inferior_event such that
$_exitcode gets cleared when the inferior signalled, and vice-versa.
This assumption was made because the variables are mutually
exclusive, i.e., when the inferior terminates because of an uncaught
signal it is not possible for it to return. I have also made modifications
such that when a corefile is loaded, $_exitsignal gets set to the uncaught
signal that "killed" the inferior, and $_exitcode is cleared.
The patch also adds a NEWS entry, documentation bits, and a testcase. The
documentation entry explains how to use $_exitsignal and $_exitcode in a
GDB script, by making use of the new $_isvoid convenience function.

Currently, in some scenarios, GDB prints <optimized out> when printing
outer frame registers. An <optimized out> register is a confusing
concept. What this really means is that the register is
call-clobbered, or IOW, not saved by the callee. This patch makes GDB
say that instead.
Before patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax $1 = <optimized out>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <optimized out>
After patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax
$1 = <not saved>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <not saved>
However, if for some reason the debug info describes a variable as
being in such a register (**), we still want to print <optimized out>
when printing the variable. IOW, <not saved> is reserved for
inspecting registers at the machine level. The patch uses
lval_register+optimized_out to encode the not saved registers, and
makes it so that optimized out variables always end up in
!lval_register values.
** See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00787.html>.
Current/recent enough GCC doesn't mark variables/arguments as being in
call-clobbered registers in the ranges corresponding to function
calls, while older GCCs did. Newer GCCs will just not say where the
variable is, so GDB will end up realizing the variable is optimized
out.
frame_unwind_got_optimized creates not_lval optimized out registers,
so by default, in most cases, we'll see <optimized out>.
value_of_register is the function eval.c uses for evaluating
OP_REGISTER (again, $pc, etc.), and related bits. It isn't used for
anything else. This function makes sure to return lval_register
values. The patch makes "info registers" and the MI equivalent use it
too. I think it just makes a lot of sense, as this makes it so that
when printing machine registers ($pc, etc.), we go through a central
function.
We're likely to need a different encoding at some point, if/when we
support partially saved registers. Even then, I think
value_of_register will still be the spot to tag the intention to print
machine register values differently.
value_from_register however may also return optimized out
lval_register values, so at a couple places where we're computing a
variable's location from a dwarf expression, we convert the resulting
value away from lval_register to a regular optimized out value.

This patch adds a new convenience function called $_isvoid, whose
only purpose is to check whether an expression is void or not.
This became necessary because the new convenience variable
$_exitsignal (not yet approved) has a mutual exclusive behavior
with $_exitcode, i.e., when one is "defined" (i.e., non-void),
the other is cleared (i.e., becomes void). Doug wanted a way to
identify which variable to use, and checking for voidness is the
obvious solution.
It is worth mentioning that my first attempt, after a conversation with
Doug, was to actually implement a new $_isdefined() convenience
function. I would do that (for convenience variables) by calling
lookup_only_internalvar. However, I found a few problems:
- Whenever I called $_isdefined ($variable), $variable became defined
(with a void value), and $_isdefined always returned true.
- Then, I tried to implement $_isdefined ("variable"), and do the "$" +
"variable" inside GDB, thus making it impossible for GDB to create the
convenience variable. However, it was hard to extract the string
without having to mess with values and their idiossincrasies.
Therefore, I decided to abandon this attempt (specially because I
didn't want to spend too much time struggling with it).
Anyway, after talking to Doug again we decided that it would be easier
to implement $_isvoid, and this will probably help in cases like
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3744554/testing-if-a-gdb-convenience-variable-is-defined>.
I wrote a NEWS entry for it, and some new lines on the documentation.

This is the patch to add new option '--skip-unavailable' to MI
commands '-stack-list-{locals, arguments, variables}'. This patch
extends list_args_or_locals to add a new parameter 'skip_unavailable',

'skip_unavailable' is true.
This is inspecting a trace frame (tfind mode), where only a few
locals have been collected.

This introduces parallel mode for the test suite.
It doesn't fully work yet in the sense that if you do a fully parallel
run, you will encounter some file-name clashes, but this has to start
somewhere, and it seemed best to add some infrastructure now, so that
you can follow along and test subsequent patches if you care to.
This patch has two parts.
First, it checks for the GDB_PARALLEL variable. If this is set (say,
on the runtest command line), then the test suite assumes "parallel
mode". In this mode, files are put into a subdirectory named after
the test. That is, for DIR/TEST.exp, the outputs are put into
./outputs/DIR/TEST/.
This first part has various follow-on changes coming in subsequent
patches. This is why the code in this patch also makes "temp" and
"cache" directories.
Second, this adds an "inotify" mode. If you have the inotifywait
command (part of inotify-tools), you can set the GDB_INOTIFY variable.
This will tell the test suite to watch for changes outside of the
allowed output directories.
This mode is useful for debugging the test suite, as it issues a
report whenever a possibly parallel-unsafe file open is done.

This whole comment is now a bit out of place. I looked into moving it
to handle_inferior_event, close to where in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
is used, but then there are 3 such places. I then looked at
fragmenting it, pushing bits closer to the definitions of
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code and gdbarch_skip_solib_resolver, but then
we'd lose the main advantage which is the overview. In the end, I
realized this can fit nicely as internals manual material.
This could possibly be a subsection of a new "run control", or "source
stepping" or "stepping" or some such a bit more general section, but
we can do that when we have more related content... Even the "single

Right now there are two nightly commits to update a file in the tree
with the current date. One commit is for BFD, one is for gdb.
It seems unnecessary to me to do this twice. We can make do with a
single such commit.
This patch changes gdb in a minimal way to reuse the BFD date -- it
extracts it from bfd/version.h and changes version.in to use the
placeholder string "DATE" for those times when a date is wanted.
I propose removing the cron job that updates the version on trunk, and
then check in this patch.
For release branches, we can keep the cron job, but just tell it to
rewrite bfd/version.h. I believe this is a simple change in the
crontab -- the script will work just fine on this file.
This also moves version.in and version.h into common/, to reflect
their shared status; and updates gdbserver to use version.h besides.

This patch adds an option --skip-unavailable to MI command
-data-list-register-values, so that unavailable registers are not
displayed (on the context of traceframes).
The old -data-list-register-values command behaves like
-data-list-register-values x 0 8
^done,register-values=[{number="0",value="<unavailable>"},{number="8",value="0x80483de"}]
With this patch, an option --skip-unavailable is added,
-data-list-register-values --skip-unavailable x 0 8
^done,register-values=[{number="8",value="0x80483de"}]

This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range
stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r),
meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the
[ADDR1,ADDR2) range".
Rationale:
When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source,
a = b + c + d * e - a;
GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a
new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to:
0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx
0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx
0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax
0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax
0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax
0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax
0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp)
0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver:
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3e840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;

<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver.
If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't
report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434,
0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down
to:
--> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1;
As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of
stepping source lines is much improved.
In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the
debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command
to be able to turn range stepping off.

Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited".
"show" knows when to print "unlimited":
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45.
(gdb) set height 0
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited.
However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly:
(gdb) set height unlimited
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb)
This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all
integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal
"unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on
symbols by default, and at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've
shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these
commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than
justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a
variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still
work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This
patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and
nothing else. This simplification means that
"set he<tab><tab>"
is all it takes to get to:
"set height unlimited"
The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited
commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual
to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the
cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it.
I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is
suggested before "0" or "-1" is.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

GDB currently sends a qTStatus even if the target previously replied
an empty packet to a previous qTStatus. If the target doesn't
recognize the packet, there's no point in trying again.
The machinery we have in place is packet_ok, which has the nice side
effect of forcing one to install a configuration command/knob for the
packet in question, which is often handy when you need to debug
things, and/or emulate a target that doesn't support the packet, or even,
it can be used as workaround for the old broken kgdb's that return error
to qTSTatus instead of an empty packet.

Before this patch:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00367.html
was applied, the "set listsize" command was a var_integer command, and
"unlimited" was set with 0. Internally, var_integer maps 0 to INT_MAX
case var_integer:
{
...
if (val == 0 && c->var_type == var_integer)
val = INT_MAX;
The change in that patch to zuinteger_unlimited command, meant that -1
is left as -1 in the command's control variable (lines_to_list), and
the code in source.c isn't expecting that -- it only expects positive
numbers.
I previously suggested fixing the code and keeping the new behavior,
but I found that "set listsize 0" is currently used in the wild, and
we do have a bunch of other commands where "0" means unlimited, so I'm
thinking that changing this command alone in isolation is not a good
idea.
So I now strongly prefer reverting back the behavior in 7.6 to the
same behavior the command has had since 2006 (0==unlimited, -1=error).
Before that, set listsize -1 would be accepted as unlimited as well.
After 7.6 is out, in mainline, we can get back to reconsidering
changing this command's behavior, if there's a real need for being
able to suppress output. For now, let's play it safe.
The "list line 1 with unlimited listsize" test in list.exp was
originally written years and years ago expecting 0 to mean "no
output", but GDB never actually worked that way, even when the tests
were written, so the tests had been xfailed then. This patch now
adjusts the test to the new behavior, so that the test actually
passes, and the xfail is removed.
