In the test script gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp we ask GDB
to list all thread groups, and match the output against a
regexp. Occasionally, I would see this test fail.
The expected output is a list of entries, each entry looking roughly
like this:
{id="<DECIMAL>",type="process",description="<STRING>",
user="<STRING>",cores=["<DECIMAL>","<DECIMAL>",...]}
All the fields after 'id' and 'type' are optional, and the 'cores'
list can contain 1 or more "<DECIMAL>" entries.
On my machine (Running Fedora 27, kernel 4.17.3-100.fc27.x86_64)
usually the 'description' is a non-empty string, and the 'cores' list
has at least one entry in it. But sometimes, very rarely, I'll see an
entry in the process group list where the 'description' is an empty
string, the 'user' is the string "?", and the 'cores' list is empty.
Such an entry looks like this:
{id="19863",type="process",description="",user="?",cores=[]}
I believe that this is caused by the process exiting while GDB is
scanning /proc for process information. The current code in
gdb/nat/linux-osdata.c is not (I think) resilient against exiting
processes.
This commit adjusts the regex that matches the 'cores' list so that an
empty list is acceptable, with this patch in place the test script
gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp never fails for me now.
I've only adjusted the cores regexp for the occasion when we have GDB
read information about all processes, its only in this case that we
might encounter an exiting process. When we read information about
two known PIDs, that we know will not exit for the duration of the
test, we require that the core list be non-empty.

* gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp: Update test regexp.
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.
