[PATCH] Make gdb.python/python.exp more robust

[PATCH] Make gdb.python/python.exp more robust

[Luis Machado]

I noticed gdb.python/python.exp failing on aarch64-elf like so:

FAIL: gdb.python/python.exp: Test decode_line func1 line number

This particular test expects the line number for func1 to be 19, hardcoded.

In my aarch64-elf tests gdb thinks func1 is at line 20, making the test fail.

The following patch addresses this by reading the line number information from
GDB and comparing it against the python decoded symtab information.

Regression tested on x86-64/Ubuntu 16.04.

	* gdb.python/python.exp: Check line number against what GDB thinks
	the line number is for func1.

Do:

  set func1_lineno "noline"

before gdb_test_multiple, so that in case the above FAILs, this:

FAILs too, instead of ERRORing out with a TCL error, due to
undefined $func1_lineno.

OK with that change.

Thanks,

Indeed.

Fixed and pushed as d334ae250a3ec888f0603cf8e909d0f425aeb30f.
