question about GDB test

question about GDB test

[ligang]

Hi, fellows,

I am porting GDB to a new target. Definitely, test of GDB is an important 
issue.
There are already some test suites in GDB source. Are they enouth?
Need I to write some more test patterns for my special target and what 
kind of patterns should I write?

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards
                     Ligang

The only bit you might like to port for the testsuite is what is in
gdb.asm for your target . 

You need a baseboard file in dejagnu for your target - look at examples
in usr/share/baseboards if you have dejagnu installed on your system .

The current testsuite provides a pretty wide coverage of generic GDB
functionality.  Making those tests PASS is a good start.  But you
might want to add some tests for specific functionality of your
target.
