Subject: [PATCH] Fix and improve comment in gdb_remote_download
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:23:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460557393-12354-1-git-send-email-simon.marchi@ericsson.com> (raw)
This patch fixes the current comment in gdb_remote_download, which is
false (the "except if that's already where it is" part). It also
improves it, by explaining why pass TOFILE through standard_output_file,
even it is an absolute path.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_remote_download): Fix and extend comment.
