Hi,

I noticed a bit in gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp that sets a breakpoint
command on main, but then due to runto_main, the break point is deleted:
...
(gdb) break main^M
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d7: file
/data/gdb_versions/devel/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/start.c, line 34.^M
(gdb) commands^M
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.^M
End with a line saying just "end".^M
>PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: commands
print 1^M
>PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: print 1
end^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/ui-redirect.exp: end
delete breakpoints^M
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y^M
...

In the original commit ( submission here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-09/msg00120.html ) there was
no runto_main, and the breakpoint command was not triggered either.

Is this some artefact, and can it be removed, or is it actually testing
something related to redirection?

Thanks,
- Tom
