Subject: [PATCH 10/17] gdb.mi/mi-logging.exp, don't send input to GDB while the inferior is running
Date: Thu,  3 Jun 2021 20:02:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210603190243.2609886-11-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210603190243.2609886-1-pedro@palves.net>

The gdb.mi/mi-logging.exp testcase sends a sequence of execution
commands to the GDB terminal while the inferior is running, like this:

 send_gdb "1002-exec-step\n"
 send_gdb "1003-exec-next\n"

expecting that GDB will consume the "1003-exec-next" intput after the
inferior stops for the 1002-exec-step.

That's a flawed assumption in general, because the inferior itself
could consume the "1003-exec-next" input while it is stepping.

When GDB puts the inferior in its own terminal, while the inferior is
running, GDB marshals input from its terminal to the inferior's
terminal.  The result is that input typed while the inferior is
running never goes to GDB, and so the test fails.

The previous patch addressed issues like this by making the inferior
and GDB share the same terminal for tests that really wanted to test
some aspect of a shared terminal.  For gdb.mi/mi-logging.exp though,
there's really no reason to send input while the program is running,
so the fix here is to stop it from doing so.

While debugging the testcase, I ran into the fact that it reuses the
same log file for more than one [open] sequence, overwriting previous
runs.  The testcase also deletes the log files at the very end, which
makes it impossible to inspect the logs after a failure run.  The
patch addresses those issues as well.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd  Pedro Alves  <pedro@palves.net>

	* gdb.mi/mi-logging.exp: Do not reuse log files for different
	runs.  Delete logs at the start of the testcase, not at the
	end.
	(wait_open, gdb_test_file): New procedures.  Use them.
