Subject: constvars.exp & volatile.exp fixes
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 12:33:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <22600.1008793888@porcupine.cygnus.com> (raw)


constvars.exp & volatile.exp are failing miserably on the PA when using
GCC.

The problem is we compile these ".c" files with the C++ compiler.

This causes names to be mangled, but because we're working with a .c
file, the debugger has set the language to "C", not "C++".  Therefore
it does not demangle the names.

It appears this was done to pacify HP's compilers; particularly since
if you use GCC all these tests ought to pass without problems.

The fix is pretty obvious.  First, we have to get the compiler info
so that we know whether we're using GCC or one of HP's compilers.  Once
armed with that information, we can arrange to do the right thing for
whatever compiler we happen to be using.

With this change, there are no unexpected failures in either test when
using GCC.

	* gdb.base/constvars.exp: Only set lang to c++ if we're 
	compiling the test with HP's compilers.
	* gdb.base/volatile.exp: Similarly.
