On ppc64le-linux, with gcc 7.5.0 and an O0 gdb build, I get:
...
(gdb) run ...
...
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffea78) at .../gdb.c:30^M
30 gdb_assert (is_main_thread ());^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: run until breakpoint at main
...
But with an O2 gdb build, I run into:
...
(gdb) run ...
...
Breakpoint 1, 0x000000001003b438 in main (argc=12, argv=0x7fffffffea78) at \
/space/vries/gdb/src/gdb/gdb.c:25
25 {
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: run until breakpoint at main
...
The breakpoint is indeed set at address 0x1003b438:
...
(gdb) break main^M
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1003b438: file /space/vries/gdb/src/gdb/gdb.c, line 25.^M
...
which is the local entry point:
...
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main(int, char**):
0x000000001003b430 <+0>: lis r2,4606
0x000000001003b434 <+4>: addi r2,r2,28416
0x000000001003b438 <+8>: mflr r0
...
And indeed, at that address, there's no "recommended breakpoint location":
...
gdb.c:
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
gdb.c 25 0x1003b430 x
gdb.c 30 0x1003b454 x
gdb.c 37 0x1003b464 x
...
So gdb behaves as expected.
Fix this by updating the pass regexp to allow this type of gdb output.
This fixes both test-case gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp and gdb.gdb/selftest.exp.
