Re-running Tests Outside The Testsuite
**************************************
When running a test, the arguments used to run GDB are saved to gdb.cmd and
all commands sent to GDB are saved to gdb.in. As well as being a reference
of the commands run, they can be used to manually re-run a test by using
the gdb.in file as a batch file to a GDB launched with the arguments in the
gdb.cmd file, for example:
$(cat outputs/gdb.base/store/gdb.cmd) -x outputs/gdb.base/store/gdb.in
Tests that run GDB multiple times will append .1, .2, .3 etc to the end
of each .cmd and .in file.
When gdbserver is launched as part of a test, a gdbserver.cmd will be created.
To re-run these tests, run the contents of gdbserver.cmd in a separate
terminal before running gdb, for example:
$(cat outputs/gdb.base/store/gdbserver.cmd)
Alternatively, if the test is run with GDBSERVER_DEBUG="replay", then this
will create a gdbserver.replay file which can be used with the gdbreplay tool,
instead of launching gdbserver.
