Pedro Alves c809e3a03b gdb_test_multiple: Anchor prompt match if -lbl
The testcase added by this patch has a gdb_test_multiple call that
wants to match different lines of output that all have a common
prefix, and do different actions on each.  Instead of a single regular
expression with alternatives, it's clearer code if the different
expressions are handled with different "-re", like so:

  gdb_test_multiple "command" "" -lbl {
     -re "^command(?=\r\n)" {
	 exp_continue
     }
     -re "^\r\nprefix foo(?=\r\n)" {
	 # Some action for "foo".
	 exp_continue
     }
     -re "^\r\nprefix bar(?=\r\n)" {
	 # Some action for "bar".
	 exp_continue
     }
     -re "^\r\nprefix \[^\r\n\]*(?=\r\n)" {
	 # Some action for all others.
	 exp_continue
     }
     -re "^\r\n$::gdb_prompt $" {
	 gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
     }
  }

Above, the leading anchors in the "^\r\nprefix..." matches are needed
to avoid too-eager matching due to the common prefix.  Without the
anchors, if the expect output buffer happens to contain at least:

  "\r\nprefix xxx\r\nprefix foo\r\n"

... then the "prefix foo" pattern match inadvertently consumes the
first "prefix xxx" line.

Without the anchor in the prompt match, like:

  -re "\r\n$::gdb_prompt $" {
      gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
  }

Or the equivalent:

  -re -wrap "" {
      gdb_assert {$all_prefixes_were_seen} $gdb_test_name
  }

... then if the expect buffer contains:

  "\r\nmeant-to-be-matched-by-lbl\r\nprefix foo\r\n$gdb_prompt "

... then the prompt regexp matches this, consuming the "prefix" line
inadvertently, and we get a FAIL.  The built-in regexp matcher for
-lbl doesn't get a chance to match the
"\r\nmeant-to-be-matched-by-lbl\r\n" part, because the built-in prompt
match appears first within gdb_test_multiple.

By adding the anchor to the prompt regexp, we avoid that problem.

However, the same expect output buffer contents will still match the
built-in prompt regexp.  That is what is fixed by this patch.  It
makes it so that if -lbl is specified, the built-in prompt regexp has
a leading anchor.

Original idea for turning this into a gdb.testsuite/ testcase by Tom
de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>.

		   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

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
