In spawn_capture_tty_name (lib/gdb.exp) we either set or unset
last_spawn_tty_name depending on whether spawn_out(slave,name) exists
or not.
One situation that might cause spawn_out(slave,name) to not exists is
if the spawn function is called with the argument -leaveopen, which is
how it is called when processes are created as part of a pipeline, the
created process has no tty, instead its output is written to a file
descriptor.
If a pipeline is created consisting of multiple processes then there
will be multiple sequential calls to spawn, all using -leaveopen. The
first of these calls is fine, spawn_out(slave,name) is not set, and so
in spawn_capture_tty_name we unset last_spawn_tty_name. However, on
the second call to spawn, spawn_out(slave,name) is still not set and
so in spawn_capture_tty_name we again try to unset
last_spawn_tty_name, this now throws an error (as last_spawn_tty_name
is already unset).
Fix this issue by using -nocomplain with the call to unset in
spawn_capture_tty_name.
Before this commit I was seeing gdb.base/gnu-debugdata.exp report 1
pass, and 1 unsupported test. After this commit I now see 16 passes
from this test script.
I have also improved the code that used to do this:
if { [info exists spawn_out] } {
set ::last_spawn_tty_name $spawn_out(slave,name)
} else {
...
}
The problem here is that we check for the existence of spawn_out, and
then unconditionally read spawn_out(slave,name). A situation could
arise where some other element of spawn_out is set,
e.g. spawn_out(foo), in which case we would enter the if block and try
to read a non-existent variable. After this commit we now check
specifically for spawn_out(slave,name).
Finally, it is worth noting that before this issue was fixed runtest
itself, or rather the expect process behind runtest, would segfault
while exiting. I haven't looked at all into what the problem is here
that caused expect to crash, as fixing the bug in GDB's testing
scripts made the segfault go away.
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 GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
