gdb_load: Fix latent bugs
In a test I was writting, I needed a procedure that would connect to the target, and do "load", or equivalent. Years ago, boards would override gdb_load to implement that. Then gdb_reload was added, and gdb_load was relaxed to allow boards avoid the spawing and connecting to the target. This sped up gdbserver testing. See https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-02/msg00318.html. To actually spawn the target and load the executable on the target side, gdb_reload was born: # gdb_reload -- load a file into the target. Called before "running", # either the first time or after already starting the program once, # for remote targets. Most files that override gdb_load should now # override this instead. proc gdb_reload { } { # For the benefit of existing configurations, default to gdb_load. # Specifying no file defaults to the executable currently being # debugged. return [gdb_load ""] } Note the comment about specifying no file. Indeed looking at config/sid.exp, or config/monitor.exp, we see examples of that. However, the default gdb_load itself doesn't handle the case of no file specified. When passed no file, it just calls gdb_file_cmd with no file either, which ends up invocing the "file" command with no argument, which means unloading the file and its symbols... That means calling gdb_reload when testing against native targets is broken. We don't see that today because the only call to gdb_reload that exists today is guarded by target_info exists gdb,do_reload_on_run. The native-extended-gdbserver.exp board is likewise broken here. When [gdb_load ""] is called, the board sets the remote exec-file to "" ... Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote gdbserver and extended-remote gdbserver. testsuite/ 2014-05-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_load): Extend comment. Skip calling gdb_file_cmd if no file is specified. * boards/native-extended-gdbserver.exp (gdb_load): Use the last_loaded_file to set the remote exec-file.
