I noticed in capture_command_output that the output of a single command is
matched using two gdb_test_multiples:
- the first one matching the echoed command and skipping an optional prefix,
- the second one matching the output and the prompt.
This is error-prone, because the first gdb_test_multiple has implicit
clauses which may consume the prompt.
The problem is easy to spot with an example. First consider:
...
set output [capture_command_output "print 1" "\\\$1 = "]
gdb_assert { [string equal $output "1"] }
...
for which we get:
...
PASS: [string equal $output "1"]
...
If we change the prefix string to a no-match, say "1 = ", and update the
output string match accordingly, we get instead:
...
FAIL: capture_command_output for print 1
FAIL: [string equal $output "\$1 = 1"]
...
The first FAIL is produced by the first gdb_test_multiple, consuming the prompt.
The second gdb_test_multiple then silently times out waiting for another prompt,
after which the second FAIL is produced. Note that the timeout is silent
because the gdb_test_multiple is called with an empty message argument.
The second FAIL is because capture_command_output returns "", given that all
the command output was consumed by the first gdb_test_multiple.
Fix this by rewriting capture_command_output to use only a single
gdb_test_multiple.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
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.
