Re: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2003-05/msg00487.html Based on Daniel's hunch, I made the following change, and it tested ok on our machine. I get the same set of failures for the threads tests: FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: Running threads (fast) (timeout) ERROR: Delete all breakpoints in delete_breakpoints (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: break thread_function (2) (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: set var slow = 1 (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: Running threads (slow) (timeout) ERROR: Delete all breakpoints in delete_breakpoints (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: break thread_function (3) (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: set var slow = 1 (2) (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: break kill (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/print-threads.exp: Running threads (slow with kill breakpoint) (timeout) In all honesty, I know very little about this, so it was just a have-a-look kind of test. But based on the fact that this test confirms Daniel's initial suspicion, I would think that this patch is safe to apply. Since it will help doing some cleanup.... 2003-05-26 J. Brobecker * config/pa/nm-hppah.h (PREPARE_TO_PROCEED): Remove, no longer needed. * hppa-tdep.c (hppa_prepare_to_proceed): Likewise. Shall I commit this patch? Thanks, (and Thanks to Daniel for the suggestion) -- Joel
