Subject: Re: [committed testsuite patch] auxv.exp cascading failures
Date: Fri, 04 Jun 2004 23:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040604234409.146364B104@berman.michael-chastain.com> (raw)
It's PR gdb/1647, sorry if the number got detached somewhere.
I have a concern about this patch. Code like this:
-re "The program has no auxiliary information now.*$" {
set bad 1
exp_continue
}
...
It might consume an arbitrary number of characters with ".*",
maybe including a $gdb_prompt, maybe not. Maybe even consuming
only part of the prompt! We're at the mercy of OS buffering
for how many characters get delivered to expect at once.
Jim B has seen a lot of this lately. So I don't think the ".*$"
is robust.
