Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.base/msym-lang.exp on ppc64-linux
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 11:34:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802093421.794182-3-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802093421.794182-1-tdevries@suse.de>
On x86_64-linux, with test-case gdb.base/msym-lang.exp we get:
...
(gdb) info func foo
All functions matching regular expression "foo":
Non-debugging symbols:
0x0000000000401116 foo()
0x000000000040112c foo()
(gdb) PASS: $exp: info func foo
...
But on ppc64-linux, we get:
...
(gdb) info func foo
All functions matching regular expression "foo":
Non-debugging symbols:
0x0000000000000914 .foo()
0x0000000000000974 .foo()
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: info func foo
...
The dot prefix is due to the function descriptors used in the PPC v1 ABI.
Fix this by allowing the dot prefix.
Tested on x86_64-linux and ppc64-linux.
