When creating a pty to spawn a subprocess (such as gdb), Expect
copies the settings of its own controlling terminal, including the
number of rows and columns. If you "make check" on a terminal with just
a few rows (e.g. 4), GDB will paginate before reaching the initial
prompt. In default_gdb_start, used by most tests, this is already
handled: if we see the pagination prompt, we sent \n to continue.
Philippe reported that gdb.base/corefile.exp didn't work in terminals
with just a few rows. This test spawns GDB by hand, because it needs to
check things before the initial prompt, which it couldn't do if it used
default_gdb_start.
In this case I think it's not safe to use the same technique as in
default_gdb_start. Even if we could send a \n if we see a pagination
prompt, we match some multiline regexes in there. So if a pagination
slips in there, it might make the regexes not match and fail the test.
It's also not possible to use -ex "set height 0" or -iex "set height 0",
it is handled after the introduction text is shown.
The simplest way I found to avoid showing the pagination completely is
to set stty_init (documented in expect's man page) to initialize gdb's
pty with a fixed number of rows.
And actually, if we set stty_init in gdb_init, it works nicely as a
general solution applicable to all tests. We can therefore remove the
solution introduced in e882ef3cfc3 ("testsuite: expect possible
pagination when starting gdb") where we matched the pagination prompt
during startup.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_start): Don't match pagination
prompt.
(gdb_init): Set stty_init.
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.
