Subject: Spurious testsuite failures due to multibyte locale
Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2003 17:05:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3wuljmviu.fsf@whitebox.local> (raw)

I'm getting numerous spurious testsuite failures when running in a
multibyte locale like utf8 because the version of readline included in
gdb forces the command line to be always redrawn completely when
running in a multibyte locale.  The output of the prompt will look
like "\r\n\r\r(gdb) \r(gdb) " which won't be matched by $gdb_prompt.

Andreas.

	* lib/gdb.exp: Set LC_ALL to "C" to avoid spurious testsuite
	failures.
