I had occasion to use with_gdb_prompt in a test for the patch for PR 17314 and was passing the plain text prompt as the value, "(top-gdb)", instead of a regexp, "\(top-gdb\)" (expressed as "\\(top-gdb\\)" in TCL). I then discovered that in order to restore the prompt gdb passes the original value of $gdb_prompt to "set prompt", which works because "set prompt \(gdb\) " is equivalent to "set prompt (gdb) ". Perhaps I'm being overly cautious but this feels a bit subtle, but at any rate as an API choice I'd much rather pass the plain text form to with_gdb_prompt. I also discovered that the initial value of gdb_prompt is set in two places to two different values. At the global level gdb.exp sets it to "\[(\]gdb\[)\]" and default_gdb_init sets it to "\\(gdb\\)". The former form is undesirable as an argument to "set prompt", but it's not clear to me that just deleting this code won't break anything. Thus I just changed the value to be consistent and added a comment. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_prompt): Add comment and change initial value to be consistent with what default_gdb_init uses. (with_gdb_prompt): Change form of PROMPT argument from a regexp to the plain text of the prompt. Add some logging printfs. * gdb.perf/disassemble.exp: Update call to with_gdb_prompt.
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.
