Subject: core files in testsuite directory
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 17:40:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yf2vfrf7b55.fsf@hawaii.kealia.com> (raw)
My testsuite directory is littered with core files. They're from
annota1, annota3 (the one in gdb.base, not the one in gdb.cp), and
signals. The first two tests attempt to remove a file named 'core',
but the core files are actually named 'core.PID', so they stay around.
Some questions:
* I assume that all these tests are generating core files for
legitimate reasons? It's not entirely clear to me why they're being
generated, but I don't really understand what signals lead to core
files in the first place.
Assuming that's the case, we should presumably change the core file
cleanup function (and move it to lib/gdb.exp, for ease of sharing, and
have signals.exp call it as well). So:
* What should the new cleanup function do? Should it just try to
remove core.*? Or should it be passed the PID of the process in
question, and only try to remove core.PID and core?
