Running
make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp"
on my machine results in timeout failures. Running it while having
`tail -F testsuite/gdb.log` on the side shows that the test is never
really blocked, it is just slow at consuming the large output generated
by `-list-thread-groups --available` (which lists all the processes on
the system).
If I increase the timeout to a large value, the test passes in ~30
seconds (compared to under 1 second normally).
Increase the timeout for the particular mi_gdb_test that is long to
execute under read1. The new timeout value is a bit arbitrary. The
default timeout is 10 seconds, so I set the new timeout to be
"old-timeout * 10", so 100 seconds in the typical case.

Currently some code in gdb uses build_help with N_(), like:
static const std::string compile_print_help
= gdb::option::build_help (N_("\
I believe this is incorrect. The N_ macro is used to mark text that
should end up in the message catalog, but which will be translated by
a later call to gettext.
However, in this case, there is no later call to gettext, so (if gdb
had translations), this text would remain untranslated.
Instead, I think using the ordinary _() macro is correct here.
Translators will have to know to preserve "%OPTIONS%" in the text --
but that seems both unavoidable and fine.
Tested by rebuilding as there's not much else to do.

When running gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp with
--target_board=unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie, we get:
...
nr of expected passes 140
...
The test-case is compiled once with nopie and once with pie, but in both cases
we end up with a non-PIE executable. The "-fno-PIE -no-pie" options specified
using the target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up
overriding the pie flags.
Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is non-PIE despite of
a pie setting, and if so return an error:
...

In Ada, it's possible to have nested functions. However,
block.c:contained_in does not recognize this. Normally, this is no
problem, but if gdb is stopped inside a nested function, then you can
end up in the unexpected situation that "print" of an expression will
work, whereas "display" of the same expression will not -- because
contained_in returns 0.
This patch simply removes the BLOCK_FUNCTION check from contained_in.
The rationale here is that in languages without nested functions, this
will not cause any issues.

When examining addresses associated with blocks with non-contiguous
address ranges, it's not uncommon to see large positive offsets which,
for some address width, actually represent a smaller negative offset.
Here's an example taken from the test case (using the
dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable):
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo+4294967277>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo+4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo+4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo+4294967286>: nop
0x401117 <foo+4294967287>: pop %rbp
This commit, in conjuction with an earlier patch from this series, causes
cases like the above to be displayed like this (below) instead:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo-10>: nop
0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp
Note that the address of foo_cold is now (due to another patch) being
displayed as <foo_cold> instead of <foo+BigOffset>. The subsequent
lines are shown as negative offsets from foo.
Disassembly using the "disassemble" command is somewhat affected by
these changes:
Before:
(gdb) disassemble foo_cold

* gdb.python/py-symbol.c: Add a static variable and one in an anonymous
namespace.
* gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Test gdb.lookup_static_symbol.
When running libsegfault.exp with check-read1, I get:
...

There are several things here interacting with environment variable
LD_PRELOAD:
- the expect "binary" build/gdb/testsuite/expect-read1 with does
export LD_PRELOAD=build/gdb/testsuite/read1.so before calling native expect
- read1.so which does unsetenv ("LD_PRELOAD") upon first call to read
- the test-case, which wants to set or append libSegFault.so to LD_PRELOAD
The error occurs when accessing $env(LD_PRELOAD), in a branch where
"info exists env(LD_PRELOAD)" returns true. AFAIU, this is
https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview?name=67fd4f973a "incorrect results of
'info exists' when unset env var in one interp and check for existence from
another interp".
Work around the tcl bug by not unsetting the variable, but setting it to ""
instead:
...
- unsetenv ("LD_PRELOAD");
+ setenv ("LD_PRELOAD", "", 1);
...
Verified that reverting commit de28a3b72e "[gdb/testsuite, 2/2] Fix
gdb.linespec/explicit.exp with check-read1" reintroduced the check-read1
failure in gdb.linespec/explicit.exp.
This fixes a similar error in attach-slow-waitpid.exp, which also sets
LD_PRELOAD.
Tested on x86_64-linux with check-read1.

* lib/read1.c (read): Don't use unsetenv (v), use setenv (v, "", 1)
instead.
When running gdb.base/dump.exp with --target_board=unix/-fPIE/-pie, we get:
...
Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump array as value, intel hex
...
The FAIL happens because although the test specifies nopie, the exec is
in fact compiled as PIE. The "-fPIE -pie" options specified using the
target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up
overriding the nopie flags.
Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is PIE despite of
a nopie setting, and if so return an error:
...
Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ...
gdb compile failed, nopie failed to prevent PIE executable
=== gdb Summary ===
nr of untested testcases 1

Tested on x86_64-linux.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Fail if nopie results in PIE executable.
(exec_is_pie): New proc.
