Jan pointed out in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00553.html> that
these testcases have racy results:
gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp
gdb.base/paginate-after-ctrl-c-running.exp
gdb.base/paginate-bg-execution.exp
gdb.base/paginate-execution-startup.exp
gdb.base/paginate-inferior-exit.exp
This is easily reproducible with "read1" from:
[reproducer for races of expect incomplete reads]
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12649
The '-notransfer -re "<return>" { exp_continue }' trick in the current
tests doesn't actually work.
The issue that led to the -notransfer trick was that
"---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---"
has two "<return>"s. If one wants gdb_test_multiple to not hit the
built-in "<return>" match that results in FAIL, one has to expect the
pagination prompt in chunks, first up to the first "<return>", then
again, up to the second. Something around these lines:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "<return>" {
exp_continue
}
-re "to quit ---" {
pass $test
}
}
The intent was for -notransfer+exp_continue to make expect fetch more
input, and rerun the matches against the now potentially fuller
buffer, and then eventually the -re that includes the full pagination
prompt regex would match instead (because it's listed higher up, it
would match first). But, once that "<return>" -notransfer -re
matches, it keeps re-matching forever. It seems like with
exp_continue, expect immediately retries matching, instead of first
reading in more data into the buffer, if available.
Fix this like I should have done in the first place. There's actually
no good reason for gdb_test_multiple to only match "<return>". We can
make gdb_test_multiple expect the whole pagination prompt text
instead, which is store in the 'pagination_prompt' global (similar to
'gdb_prompt'). Then a gdb_test_multiple caller that doesn't want the
default match to trigger, because it wants to see one pagination
prompt, does simply:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "$pagination_prompt$" {
pass $test
}
}
which is just like when we don't want the default $gdb_prompt match
within gdb_test_multiple to trigger, like:
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "$gdb_prompt $" {
pass $test
}
}
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. In addition, I've let the racy tests run
all in parallel in a loop for 30 minutes, and they never failed.
[gdb 7.8: lib/gdb-utils.exp didn't exist in the branch yet, so this patch adds it.]
