Hi,
We find gdb.base/printcmds.exp fails a lot on windows host, like this,
p ctable1[163]
$204 = 163 '£'
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p ctable1[163]
however, on linux host,
p ctable1[163]
$205 = 163 '\243'
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p ctable1[163]
The printing related code is in valprint.c:print_wchar,
if (gdb_iswprint (w) && (!need_escape || (!gdb_iswdigit (w)
&& w != LCST ('8')
&& w != LCST ('9'))))
{
gdb_wchar_t wchar = w;
if (w == gdb_btowc (quoter) || w == LCST ('\\'))
obstack_grow_wstr (output, LCST ("\\"));
obstack_grow (output, &wchar, sizeof (gdb_wchar_t));
}
else
{
// print W in hex or octal digits
}
When I debug gdb on different hosts, I find
on windows host, gdb_iswprint (iswprint) returns true if 'w' is 163.
However, on linux host, iswprint returns false if 'w' is 163. Looks
this difference is caused by the charset. On Linux host,
the target-charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968, while on windows host, the
target-charset is CP1252.
We can see how target-charset affects the output. On linux host,
(gdb) set target-charset ASCII
(gdb) p ctable1[163]
$1 = 163 '\243'
(gdb) set target-charset CP1252
(gdb) p ctable1[163]
$2 = 163 '£'
we can print the pound sign too, and it shows target-charset does
affect the output.
This patch is to set target-charset temporarily to ASCII for some
charset-sensitive tests. Tested on arm-none-eabi and
powerpc-linux-gnu on mingw32 host. More than one hundred fails are
fixed.

The completion feature and other features on readline depend on the
readline library. However, readline library is not always used, for
example, running testsuite like
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--host_board=local-remote-host"
the input stream is not a tty, and GDB doesn't use readline library
as a result.
This patch is to skip tests on completion and readline if
'show editing' is off, which means readline isn't used. Note that
some tests in gdb.base/completion.exp test command complete, which
isn't related to readline, so these tests aren't affected by readline
library. This patch also moves these tests up, run them
unconditionally, and run the rest if readline library is used.

Test cases that produce source files in the build directory have not
been able to use prepare_for_testing and friends. This was because
build_executable_from_specs unconditionally prepended the source
directory path name to its arguments.
If GDB has crashed then gdb_spawn_id still exists (although it does not work).
So my patch does not change anything. And also currently it will leave the
stale gdbserver running anyway.
In general if gdb_spawn_id does not exist then send_gdb + gdb_expect just do
not make sense anyway. So this patch just prevents the error in such case.
The killing of stale gdbserver could be improved multiple ways (also as
suggested by Pedro in the original thread) but that is IMO outside of the
scope of this patch. Apparently if there is no good response from GDB then
gdb_finish() should try to call gdb_start just to kill that gdbserver, IIUC.

This patch is to add a test case to on the performance of GDB handling
load and unload of shared library.
In V4:
- Handle malloc and dlopen failure,
- Document test parameters.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Adapt to perf test framework changes.
- Measure load and unload separately.
In V2, there are some changes,
- A new proc gdb_produce_source to produce source files. I tried to
move all source file generation code out of solib.exp, but
compilation step still needs to know the generated file names. I
have to hard-code the file names in compilation step, which is not
good to me, so I give up on this moving.
- SOLIB_NUMBER -> SOLIB_COUNT
- New variable SOLIB_DLCLOSE_REVERSED_ORDER to control the order of
iterating a list of shared libs to dlclose them.
- New variable GDB_PERFORMANCE to enable these perf test cases.
- Remove dlsym call in solib.c.
- Update solib.py for the updated framework.

Currently a proc in gdb.exp toggles the expect (and thus dejagnu)
logging. This is not a super idea, but it is there to avoid putting
some preprocessor output into the log.
In the right circumstances, this can result in the log file being
mysteriously truncated. I think this happens because it doesn't
necessarily write to the correct log file again.
The fix is to use "log_file -info" to save the previous log file.

Running catch-syscall.exp against a gdbserver that actually supports
it, we get:
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)

FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
The fail pattern is:
Catchpoint 2 (call to syscall exit_group), 0x000000323d4baa29 in _exit () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: program has called exit_group

[Inferior 1 (process 21081) exited normally]
That "break exit" + "continue" comes from:
> # gdb_continue_to_end:

> # stub is used, we set a breakpoint at exit because we cannot rely on
> # exit() behavior of a remote target.
> #
The native-gdbserver.exp board, used to test against gdbserver in
"target remote" mode, triggers that case ($use_gdb_stub is true). So
gdb_continue_to_end doesn't work for catch-syscall.exp as here we
catch the exit_group and continue from that, expecting to see a real
program exit. I was about to post a patch that changes
catch-syscall.exp to call a new function that just always does what
gdb_continue_to_end does in the !$use_gdb_stub case. But, since
GDBserver doesn't really need this, in the end I thought it better to
teach the testsuite that there are stubs that know how to report
program exits, by adding a new "exit_is_reliable" board variable that
then gdb_continue_to_end checks.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

This fixes dwz.exp on 32-bit targets. It does so by introducing a new
"default" setting for the address size in the DWARF assembler.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
I also ran the gdb.dwarf2 tests on an x86 machine (gcc45).
* lib/dwarf.exp (cu, tu): Handle addr_size of "default". Change
default addr_size.
* lib/gdb.exp (is_64_target): New gdb_caching_proc.
I noticed that skip_btrace_tests is a classic "caching proc" that I
missed when I added gdb_caching_proc. This patch converts it.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* lib/gdb.exp (skip_btrace_tests): Use gdb_caching_proc and
standard_temp_file.
This finishes making gdb.dwarf2 parallel-safe.
To do this, this patch introduces a new gdb_remote_download proc, that
works somewhat differently in the one specific case where it matters:
for a copy to "host", if no destination was given, and the host is not
actually remote, then standard_output_file is used. In parallel mode
this guarantees that the resulting file will end up in a parallel-safe
location.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-basic.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-compressed.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-intercu.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-intermix.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.

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.

In the fully parallel mode, each .exp file can be run in parallel (at
least conceptually -- the actual split may not be so severe). This
means that procs that compute a result and cache it are not going to
function very well. The test they run will be invoked over and over.
This patch introduces a generic caching mechanism and changes various
result-caching procs to use it. This is a cleanup to introduce the
basic change; the results aren't written to disk yet.
A caching proc is defined using gdb_caching_proc, which works like
"proc", except that it caches the result of the body.

This adds a new helper proc, standard_temp_file. This proc takes a

parallel runs use a directory other than ".", which helps the inotify
mode.

it.

When I tried running the btrace tests, I noticed something odd in the gdb.log file:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/btrace22343.x
Breakpoint 1, main () at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/btrace22343.c:1
1 /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/btrace22343.c: No such file or directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb) record btrace
Target does not support branch tracing.
(gdb) testcase ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable.exp completed in 0 seconds
I knew that the btrace tests on my machine weren't supposed to work,
but still, that error made me wonder if the test had something broken,
and waste a few minutes looking up where that is coming from.
The issue is that the btrace detection deletes the source file right
after compiling it, and before GDB has a chance to open it. It's
really harmless, but I'd rather spare others from going through the
same exercise.
We now get the regular:
(gdb) run
