I noticed that the 'with_test_prefix "stoppedtry $stoppedtry"' prefix
in this testcase is unnecessary, because inside that block there are
no pass/fail calls. In fact the block includes a comment saying:
# No PASS message as we may be looping in multiple
# attempts.
but looking deeper at this I noticed a few odd things with this code
block:
1. This code is assuming that the second line in the /proc/PID/status
files is the "State:" line, which may have been true when this was
originally written, but is not true on my machine at least (Linux
4.8.13).
$ cat /proc/self/status
Name: cat
Umask: 0002
State: R (running)
So nowadays, that 'string match "*(stopped)*"' is running against
the "Umask:" line and thus always returns false, meaning the loop
always breaks on $stoppedtry == 0.
2. The loop seems to be waiting for the process to become "(stopped)",
but if so then that 'if {![string match]}' check is reversed, it
should be checking 'if {[string match]}' instead, because "string
match" returns true if the string matches, not 0.
3. But if we fixed all that, we'd still run into the simple fact that
nothing is actually stopping the test's inferior process before GDB
attaches... The top of the testcase says:
# This test was created by modifying attach-stopped.exp.
... and attach-stopped.exp does have:
# Stop the program
remote_exec build "kill -s STOP ${testpid}"
but then attach-stopped.exp doesn't have an equivalent
/proc/PID/status poll loop... (Maybe it could.)
So remove this whole loop as useless.

* gdb.threads/attach-into-signal.exp: Remove whole "stoppedtry"
loop.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
