Okay, I'll take all the line numbers out of the test names, somehow.

Now that you mention it, the "*_plus_2" names look dorky.

Perhaps:

  set line_callee4_head [expr [gdb_get_line_number "callee4 ("]]
  set line_callee4_body [expr [gdb_get_line_number "callee4 ("] + 2]

I like "line_foo_body", but "line_foo_head" sounds a little funny.

Perhaps "line_foo_definition" or "line_foo_defn".

I don't like "line_foo_prologue" because these are lines in the
source file, and the prologue is a property of the object code.

I'll work up another RFC.
