* gdb.base/branches.c: Remove.
If gdbserver and IPA are using different tdesc, they will disagree
about 'R' trace packet size. This results in mangled traces.
To make sure they pick the same tdesc, gdbserver pokes the tdesc
(specified as an index in a target-specific list) into a global
variable in IPA. In theory, IPA could find out the tdesc on its
own, but that may be complex (in particular, I don't know how to
tell whether we have LAST_BREAK on s390 without messing with ptrace),
and we'd have to duplicate the logic.
Tested on i386 and x86_64. On i386, it fixes two FAILs in ftrace.exp.
On x86_64, these failures have been KFAILed - one of them works now,
but the other now fails due to an unrelated reason (ugh).

The PPC64 tracepoint patch added \y at the end of the call_insn pattern -
without that, it embarassed itself and matched the 'bl' in "Dump of
assem*bl*er code for function" as the powerpc call opcode. Since that
sounds like a generally good idea, I've added \y before and after
call_insn for every target. As a result, I had to change x86_64's mnemonic
to 'callq'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/entry-values.exp: Surround $call_insn with '\y',
change x86_64 call_insn to 'callq'.
When encoding the agent expression operation ax_reg or ax_reg_mask, the
register number used is internal to GDB. However GDBServer expects a tdesc
based number.
This usually does not cause a problem since at the moment, for raw
registers GDBServer R trace action ignores the register mask and just
collects all registers.
It can be a problem, however with pseudo registers on some platforms if the
tdesc number doesn't match the GDB internal register number.
This is the case with ARM, the upcoming ARM tracepoint support, fails
these test cases without this patch:
gdb.trace/collection.exp: collect register locals collectively:*
GDBSever would exit with: unhandled register size
Since the register number is not mapped.
This patch fixes these issues by calling gdbarch_remote_register_number
before encoding the register number in the ax_reg or ax_reg_mask operation.
Tested on x86 native-gdbserver no regressions observed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ax-general.c (ax_reg): Call gdbarch_remote_register_number.
(ax_reg_mask): Likewise.
This unbreaks pending/delayed breakpoints handling, as well as

Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00681.html
The MIPS kernel reports SI_KERNEL for all kernel generated traps,
instead of TRAP_BRKPT / TRAP_HWBKPT, but GDB isn't aware of this.
Basically, this commit:
- Folds watchpoints logic into check_stopped_by_breakpoint, and
renames it to save_stop_reason.
- Adds GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT.
- Makes MIPS set both GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRPT and
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT to SI_KERNEL. In save_stop_reason, we
handle the case of the same si_code returning true for both
TRAP_BRPT and TRAP_HWBKPT by looking at what the debug registers
say.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.
When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.
The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In mi mode the output of a segfault is:
*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",
signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",

When we're looking at a tracefile trace frame where registers are not

This patch fixes an internal error that occurs in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:
/blah/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:2723: internal-error: Can't determine the
current address space of thread Thread 3170.3170
In default_thread_address_space, find_inferior_ptid couldn't find 3170.3170
because it had been overwritten in inferior_appeared, called as follows:
inferior_appeared
remote_add_inferior
remote_notice_new_inferior
remote_update_thread_list
The cause of the problem was the following sequence of events:
* GDB knows only about the main thread
* the first fork event is reported to GDB, saved as pending_event
* qXfer:threads:read gets the threads from the remote.
remove_new_fork_children id's the fork child from the pending event
and removes it from the list reported to GDB. All the rest of the
threads, including the fork parent, are added to the GDB thread list.
* GDB stops all the threads. All the stop events are pushed onto the
stop reply queue behind the pending fork event. The fork waitstatus
is saved in the fork parent thread's pending status field
thread_info.suspend.
* remote_wait_ns calls queued_stop_reply and process_stop_reply to
remove the fork event from the front of the stop reply queue and save
event information in the thread_info structure for the fork parent
thread. Unfortunately, none of the information saved in this way is
the fork-specific information.
* A subsequent qXfer:threads:read packet gets the thread list including
the fork parent and fork child. remove_new_fork_children checks the
thread list to see if there is a fork parent, doesn't find one, checks
the stop reply queue for a pending fork event, doesn't find one, and
allows the fork child thread to be reported to GDB before the fork
event has been handled. remote_update_thread_list calls
remote_notice_new_thread and overwrites the current (main) thread in
inferior_appeared.
So the fork event has been reported out of target_wait but it was left
pending on the infrun side (infrun.c:save_waitstatus). IOW, the fork
event hasn't been processed by handle_inferior_event yet, so it hasn't
made it to tp->pending_follow yet.
The fix is to check thread_info.suspend along with the
thread_info.pending_follow in remote.c:remove_new_fork_children, to
prevent premature reporting of the fork child thread creation.

Just like standard_output_file, standard_temp_file should use multiple
directories to make the tests parallel-safe. However,
standard_temp_file is sometimes called in some procedures that are not
test-specific. For example, gdb_init uses it, but is called once before
all test files are ran. Therefore, we can't organize it in a
temp/gdb.subdir/testname layout, like standard_output_file.
Because it's just meant for temporary files that don't really need to be
inspected after the test, we can just put them in a directory based on
the runtest pid. There is always a single exp file being executed by a
particular runtest invocation at any given time, so it should be safe.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (standard_temp_file): Return a path specific to
the runtest invocation.
In save-trace.exp, we want to test loading of a tracepoint definition
file with a relative path (I am not sure why in fact). We currently use
"savetrace-relative.tr", which ends up directly in testsuite/. If we
use [standard_output_file] on that path, it becomes absolute. I decided
to just replace [pwd] with . (a dot) in the path given by
standard_output_file to make it relative. However, this trick only
works because [pwd] is a prefix of the standard output directory. So I
added a check to verify that precondition.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/save-trace.exp: Change relative path to be in the
standard output directory.

GDB step cross kernel helpers only works if the kernel helpers are tail
called, which is the case how it is used in glibc. See __aeabi_read_tp
in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/aeabi_read_tp.S. In __aeabi_read_tp,
branch/jump to the kernel helper is the last instruction, and the next
instruction address is in LR, which is in caller function. GDB can
handle this correctly. For example, glibc function __GI___ctype_init
calls __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6e19b30 <__GI___ctype_init+4>: ldr r3, [pc, #80] ;
0xb6e19b34 <__GI___ctype_init+8>: bl 0xb6e0a6e0 <__aeabi_read_tp>
0xb6e19b38 <__GI___ctype_init+12>: ldr r3, [pc, r3]
and __aeabi_read_tp calls kernel helper,
(gdb) disassemble __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6fef5d0 <+0>: mvn r0, #61440 ; 0xf000
0xb6fef5d4 <+4>: sub pc, r0, #31
once GDB or GDBserver single step instruction on 0xb6fef5d4, LR is
0xb6e19b38, which is right address of next instruction to set breakpoint
on.
However, if the kernel helpers are not tail-called, the LR is still the
address in the caller function of kernel helper's caller, which isn't
the right address of next instruction to set breakpoint on. For example,
we use kernel helper in main,
(gdb) disassemble main
....
0x00008624 <+32>: mov r3, #4064 ; 0xfe0^M
0x00008628 <+36>: movt r3, #65535 ; 0xffff^M
0x0000862c <+40>: blx r3
0x00008630 <+44>: ldr r3, [r11, #-8]
kernel helper is called on 0x0000862c and the expected next instruction
address is 0x00008630, but the LR now is the return address of main.
The problem here is LR may not have the right address because when we
single step the instruction, it isn't executed yet, so the LR isn't
updated. This patch fix this problem by decoding instruction, if the
instruction updates LR (BL and BLX), the next instruction address is
PC + INSN_SIZE, otherwise, get the address of next instruction from LR.

When I exercise GDBserver software single step, I see the following
error, which has been already handled by GDB properly.

0xb6e0a6e4 <__aeabi_read_tp+4>: sub pc, r0, #31
however, it fails inserting breakpoint there. This problem has already
fixed by GDB, see comments in arm-linux-tdep.c:arm_linux_software_single_step
/* The Linux kernel offers some user-mode helpers in a high page. We can
not read this page (as of 2.6.23), and even if we could then we
couldn't set breakpoints in it, and even if we could then the atomic
operations would fail when interrupted. They are all called as
functions and return to the address in LR, so step to there
instead. */
so we need to do the same thing in GDB side as well. This patch adds
a new field fixup in arm_get_next_pcs_ops, so that we can fix up PC
for arm-linux target. In this way, both GDB and GDBserver can single
step instructions going to kernel helpers.

In skip_artificial_frames we repeatedly call get_prev_frame_always until we get
a non-inline and non-tailcall frame assuming that there must be such a frame
eventually.
For record targets, however, we may have a frame chain that consists only of
artificial frames. This leads to a crash in get_frame_type when dereferencing a
NULL frame pointer.
Change skip_artificial_frames and skip_tailcall_frames to return NULL in such a
case and modify each caller to cope with a NULL return.
In frame_unwind_caller_pc and frame_unwind_caller_arch, we simply assert that
the returned value is not NULL. Their caller was supposed to check
frame_unwind_caller_id before calling those functions.
In other cases, we thrown an error.
In infcmd further move the skip_tailcall_frames call to the forward-stepping
case since we don't need a frame for reverse execution and we don't want to fail
because of that. Reverse-finish does make sense for a tailcall frame.

This patch removes 'ops' in tracepoint, and uses helper functions to
call action handler instead.
The object layout of tracepoint_action may differ in gdbserver and
inferior depend on the alignment rule of target ABI, so gdbserver cannot
simply copy the object from its memory to inferior memory.
For example,
struct collect_memory_action
{
struct tracepoint_action base;
{
#ifndef IN_PROCESS_AGENT
const struct tracepoint_action_ops *ops;
#if
- char type;
| }
| ULONGEST addr;
| ULONGEST len;
- int32_t basereg;
};
and on PowerPC,
Wihtout ops with ops
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
0 |type| PADDING... 0 |ops-------------|
4 ................. 4 |type|PADDING....|
8 |addr------------ 8 |addr-------------
c ----------------| c -----------------|
10 |len------------- 10 |len--------------
14 ----------------| 14 -----------------|
18 |basereg--------| 18 |basereg---------|
so we cannot directly copy the object.
In this patch, 'ops' is removed in order to make the objects identical.

Currently, you can cd to the gdb/testsuite/ dir and use
make check-parallel, instead of using FORCE_PARALLEL:
$ make -j8 check-parallel RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
$ make -j8 check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver" FORCE_PARALLEL=1
But you can't do that in the build/gdb/ dir:
$ make check-parallel RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
make: *** No rule to make target `check-parallel'. Stop.
I find check-parallel a bit more convenient, and more typo-proof, so
this patch makes it work from the gdb build dir too.

This tests whether $ymm15 can be correctly collected and printed from
tfile. It covers:
- storing tdesc in tfile (without that, $ymm15 doesn't exist)
- ax_pseudo_register_collect for x86 (without that, $ymm15 cannot be
collected)
- register order in tfile_fetch_registers (without that, $ymm15h is
fetched from wrong position)
- off-by-one in tfile_fetch_registers (without that, $ymm15h is
incorrectly considered to be out of bounds)
- using proper tdesc in encoding tracepoint actions (without that,
internal error happens due to $ymm15h being considered unavailable)

This patch uses the target architecture rather then the objfile
architecture when encoding tracepoint actions.
The target architecture may contain additional registers. E.g. ARM VFP
registers. This information is needed to allow their collection. Since we
can never know whether the registers numbers in the target match the
binary's we have to use tdesc here.
One note about combined debuggers / multi-inferior from Pedro Alves:
In the combined debugger case taking Cell as the practical example that
gdb supports currently:
In that case, the main target_gdbarch() will be powerpc, but you may have set a
tracepoint on _spu_ code, which has a different gdbarch. so for that case,
target_gdbarch would be wrong. I think that in that case, we'd need to
find __the_ target/tdesc gdbarch that is (bfd) compatible with the
objfile's gdbarch.
I think cell/spu gdbserver doesn't support tracepoints, so we can ignore
this for now.
The multi-inferior/process case is somewhat related, but its simpler.
each inferior has its own gdbarch.
That is, target_gdbarch depends on the current inferior selected.
In fact, that just returns inferior->gdbarch nowaways.

We have function regcache_raw_read_unsigned defined in both GDB and
GDBserver, so that it is used in common like this,
ULONGEST value;
status = regcache_raw_read_unsigned (regcache, regnum, &value);
'value' is correctly set in GDB side, but may not be correctly set
in GDBserver, because &value is passed in regcache_raw_read_unsigned
but collect_register may only set part of the whole variable. In my
test, I see the top half of 'value' is garbage. This patch fixes this
problem by clearing *VAL before calling collect_register.

tfile_fetch_registers currently wrongly fetches registers using
gdb order instead of g packet order. On x86_64 with AVX, this causes
problems with ymm*h and orig_rax registers: gdb has ymm*h first, while
g packet has orig_rax first.

One of the last checks update_breakpoints_after_exec does while looping
over the list of breakpoints is check that the breakpoint has a valid
location spec. It uses event_location_empty_p to check if the location spec
is "empty", and if it is, the breakpoint is deleted.
momentary_breakpoint types rely on setting the breakpoint structure's
location spec to NULL, thereby causing an update to delete the breakpoint.
However, event_location_empty_p assumed that locations were never NULL.
As a result, GDB would crash dereferencing a NULL pointer whenever
update_breakpoints_after_exec would encounter a momentary_breakpoint.
This patch creates a new wrapper/helper function which tests that the given
breakpoint's location spec is non-NULL and if it is not "empty"
or "unspecified."

MI is currently using string_to_event_location to enable the use of legacy
linespecs, but using this function (until this patchset) had the (as yet
unnoticed) side effect of allowing both MI and CLI representation for
explicit locations.
This patch simply changes MI to use the same legacy linespec functions
that the python and guile interpreters use. This eliminates the CLI syntax
for explicit locations (in MI).

This patch refactors string_to_event_location, breaking it into two
separate functions:
1) string_to_event_location_basic
A "basic" string parser that implements support for "legacy" linespecs
(linespec, address, and probe locations). This function is intended to
be used by any UI wishing/needing to support this legacy behavior.
2) string_to_event_location
This is now intended as a CLI-only function which adds explicit location
parsing in a CLI-appropriate manner (in the form of traditional option/value
pairs).
Together these patches serve to simplify string-to-event location parsing
for all existing non-CLI interfaces (MI, guile, and python).

[PR17431: following execs with "breakpoint always-inserted on"]
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00733.html
The problem this time is that we currently update the global location
list and try to insert breakpoint locations after re-setting _each_
breakpoint in turn.
Say:
- We have _more_ than one breakpoint set. Let's assume 2.
- There's a breakpoint with a pre-exec address that ends up being an
unmapped address after the exec.
- That breakpoint is NOT the first in the breakpoint list.
Then when handling an exec, and we re-set the first breakpoint in the
breakpoint list, we mistakently try to install the old pre-exec /
un-re-set locations of the other breakpoint, which fails:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

When running tests in parallel, each test puts its generated files in a
different directory, under "outputs". I think it would be nice if it
was always the case, as it would isolate the test cases a bit more. An
artifact created by a test wouldn't get overwritten by another test.
Also, it makes it easier to clean up. A lot of executables are left all
over the place because their names do not appear in gdb.*/Makefile. If
everything is in "outputs", then we just have to delete that directory
(which we already do).
At the same time it makes the gdb.foo directories and their Makefiles
useless in the build directory, since they are pretty much only used for
cleaning.

While testing the following patch,
[PATCH] Always organize test artifacts in a directory hierarchy
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00133.html
I noticed that it broke Ada testing. This lead me to think that
parallel testing when building in-tree didn't work previously in Ada.
It is confirmed by this test:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.ada/fun_addr.exp" -j 2
...
Running ./gdb.ada/fun_addr.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.ada/fun_addr.exp: compilation foo.adb
...
This patch fixes in-tree parallel testing for Ada, and consequently
serial and parallel testing when the aforementioned patch is applied.
The problem originates from the fact that Ada support code cd's to the
builddir before compiling. In itself it's not a problem, it allows to
place intermediate auto-generated files in that directory. The Ada
compilation refers to the source file, which is in another directory,
only by its base name (e.g. foo.adb). In serial mode, that worked
because builddir was the same as the source directory (e.g.
gdb.ada/fun_addr/). In an out-of-tree build, it works because the
source directory is added as an include directory (note: this is not the
same $srcdir as autoconf's):
set srcdir [file dirname $source]
additional_flags=-I$srcdir
which becomes:
additional_flags=-I/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/fun_addr
However, when building in-tree, srcdir is relative: ./gdb.ada/fun_addr.
When using parallel or always-in-outputs-directory mode, we are cd'ed in
the outputs directory. So -I$srcdir is relative to the current
directory, which is wrong.
To fix it, I made the TCL variable srcdir (set in site.exp, from which
everything else is derived) always absolute. It is done by assigning
autoconf's abs_srcdir instead of autoconf's srcdir. This way -I$srcdir
will always be good, regardless of where we cd'ed to. A small apparent
change is that when running tests, DejaGnu will say:
Running /tmp/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/fun_addr.exp ...
instead of
Running ./gdb.ada/fun_addr.exp ...
I hope it's not too much of an annoyance. I think that it should make
the testsuite a tiny bit more robust against other bugs of the same
class.
Regtested in & out of tree, only with native target.

This patch removes some dead code.
I noticed that varobj_delete was always called with dellist == NULL, so
I started removing that parameter. That allows removing a good chunk of
the code in varobj_delete, making it almost trivial. We can also remove
the resultp parameters in that whole trail. In turn, this shows that
struct cpstack, cppush and cppop were only used fo that mechanism, so
they can be removed as well.
I also moved the function comment to the header file to comply with
today's guideline, even though the rest of the file does not respect it
(yet).

BASEDIR was added by https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00587.html
in order to handle the different directory layout in serial testing
and parallel testing. BASEDIR is "gdb.base" in serial testing and is
"outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME" in parallel testing. However, it doesn't
work if the GDBserver is in remote target, like this,
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost foll-vfork.exp foll-exec.exp'
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: continue to first exec catchpoint (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork and exec child follow, to main bp: continue to bp (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork child follow, finish after tcatch vfork: finish (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork relations in info inferiors: continue to bp (the program exited)
these tests fail because the executable can't be found. With target
board native-gdbserver, the program is spawned this way,
spawn ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2347 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR is correct. However, with target board
remote-gdbserver-on-localhost, the program is spawned
spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l yao localhost /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR (either "gdb.base" or "outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME") makes no
sense.
I had a fix that pass absolute directory to BASEDIR, but it assumes
that directory structure is the same on build and target, and it
doesn't work in remote host case. The current fix in this patch is
to get the directory from argv[0]. In any case, the program to be
exec'ed is at the same directory with the main program.
Note that these tests do "next N" to let program stop at the desired
line, but it is fragile, because GDB for different targets may skip
function prologue slightly differently, so I replace some of them by
"tbreak on LINE NUMBER and continue".

New bnds fields will be always present for x86 architecture.
Fixup for compatibility layer 32bits has to be fixed.
It was added the nat_siginfo to serving as intermediate step
between kernel provided siginfo and the fix up routine.
When executing compat_siginfo_from_siginfo or
compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo first the buffer read from the kernel are
converted into the nat_signfo for homogenization, then the fields of
nat_siginfo are use to set the compat and compat_x32 siginfo fields.
In other to make this conversion independent of the system where gdb
is compiled the most complete version of the siginfo, named as native
siginfo, is used internally as an intermediate step.
Conversion using nat_siginfo is exemplified below:
compat_siginfo_from_siginfo or compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo:
buffer (from the kernel) -> nat_siginfo -> 32 / X32 siginfo
(memcpy) (field by field)
siginfo_from_compat_x32_siginfo or siginfo_from_compat_siginfo:
32 / X32 siginfo -> nat_siginfo -> buffer (to the kernel)
(field by field) (memcpy)
Caveat: No support for MPX on x32.

The test gdb.mi/mi-vla-fortran.exp reveals an issue with the DWARF
generated by gfortran.
In the test a pointer variable 'pvla2' is created:
real, pointer :: pvla2 (:, :)
Initially this variable will be unassociated, so something like this:
l = associated(pvla2)
should return false.
In the test gdb stops at a point _before_ pvla2 is associated with
anything, and we then try to print pvla2, the expectation is that gdb
should reply <not associated>.
The problem is that the data the DWARF directs gdb to read (to identify
if the variable is associated or not) is not initialised until the first
time pvla2 is accessed.
As a result gdb ends up reading uninitialised memory, sometimes this
uninitialised memory indicates the variable is associated (when it's
not). This first mistake can lead to a cascade of errors, reading
uninitialised memory, with the result that gdb builds an invalid type to
associate with the variable pvla2.
In some cases, this invalid type can be very large, which when we try to
print pvla2 causes gdb to allocate a large amount of memory.
A recent commit added a new gdb variable 'max-value-size', which
prevents gdb from allocating values of extreme size. As a result
directly trying to print pvla2 will now now error rather than allocate a
large amount of memory.
However, some of the later tests create a varobj for pvla2, and then
ask for the children of that varobj to be displayed. In the case where
an invalid type has been computed for pvla2 then the number of children
can be wrong, and very big, in which case trying to display all of these
children can cause gdb to consume an excessive amount of memory.
This commit first detects if printing pvla2 triggers the max-value-size
error, if it does then we avoid all the follow on tests relating to the
unassociated pvla2, which avoids the second error printing the varobj
children.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-vla-fortran.exp: Add XFAIL for accessing unassociated
pointer. Don't perform further tests on the unassociated pointer
if the first test fails.
