Subject: Change gdb.base/examine-backwards.exp for AIX.
X-Git-Tag: binutils-2_42~1080
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=169fe7ab54b964a6619c6fd05ab55090fa671b10;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Change gdb.base/examine-backwards.exp for AIX.

In AIX unused or constant variables are collected as garbage by the linker and in the dwarf dump
an address with all f's in hexadecimal are assigned. Hence the testcase fails with many failures stating
it cannot access memory.

This patch is a small change to get it working in AIX as well.
