Hi Jeff,

This needs some work.

All the arms of a gdb_test_muliple need to end in "$gdb_prompt $" (or
something) to match all the text of the output string. A pattern like
"Breakpoint .* (deferred).*" will match some indeterminate amount of
text after "deferred", leading to nondeterministic results for the next
test.


"Make breakpoint pending" does not end in "$gdb_prompt $" but it
should end with something other than ".*" for the same reason.


I am trying to fix that. I tried specifying the prompt fully and changed the send_gdb to be a gdb_test as suggested by Daniel. Unfortunately, I get an "ERROR: got an interactive prompt" message now. I need to look into why this is happening.



Found the problem...didn't escape the question mark. As soon as I clarify Daniel's one comment I will repost.


You don't need a ".*$gdb_prompt $" or a "timeout" case;
gdb_test_multiple automatically provides those.

The '(' and ')' need to be escaped: "\\(deferred\\)".


Done.


How come "Breakpoint .* \\(deferred\\).*$gdb_prompt $" is a PASS?
The function does not exist, so shouldn't that be a FAIL?
Or do I not understand your work?


It has nothing to do with me. This was in the original gdb_test so I made sure it was still there.

These file need copyright notices. See break.c for a good copyright notice.


Done.


+gdb_test_multiple "break pendfunc1" "set pending breakpoint" {
+     -re ".*Make breakpoint pending.*$" {
+        gdb_test_multiple "y" "set pending breakpoint" {

+        pass "set pending breakpoint"
+        }
+        }
+     }
+}

Same as before, don't put a ".*" at the end of a pattern.


Ok.

Will repost when I have everything working again.
