Testsuite question...

[Robin Getz <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org>]

In gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dbx-test.exp there are some simple breakpoint tests:

#
#test_breakpoints
#
proc test_breakpoints { } {
    gdb_test "stop in main" "Breakpoint.*at.*: file.*average\.c, line 38\."
    gdb_test "status" "Num.*Type.*Disp.*Enb.*Address.*What\r\n1\[ \r\]+breakpoint\[ \r\]+keep y.*in main at.*average\.c:38.*"
    gdb_test "stop at 43" "Breakpoint.*at.*: file.*average\.c, line 43.*"
    gdb_test "stop in 43" "Usage: stop in <function . address>"
    gdb_test "stop at main" "Usage: stop at <line>"
}

I have run into a little problem with this, and am not sure if this is my
problem, or if it is a general testsuite issue.

Since we compile all the c libraries with -g, I get a break in the crt1.S file.
(This is pretty helpful when debugging libs and startup issues).

(gdb) exec-file /home/rgetz/blackfin/gcc-build/binutils_build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dbx-test. ^Mgdb

When you do a "stop symbol", where the symbol is in the application, it 
works fine,

(gdb) stop in main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4401b2: file /home/rgetz/blackfin/toolchain/binutils-2.17/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/average.c, line 38.

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/dbx.exp: status

When you do a "stop 43", since the current context is not the application
source file (it is line number after all), it puts a breakpoint in the 
current open file - crt1.S, and this fails the pattern match.

stop at 43
Breakpoint 2 at 0x440044: file libc/sysdeps/linux/bfin/crt1.S, line 43.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/dbx.exp: stop at 43

This doesn't sound like an architecture specific issue?

Thanks for any/all pointers.
