-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The guality tests can randomly fail due to expect buffering issues. Given this output: Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d6: file /home/gcc/virgin-gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/guality/pr43479.c, line 18.^M ^M Breakpoint 1, foo (k=7, l=Unhandled dwarf expression opcode 0xf3^M ) at /home/gcc/virgin-gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/guality/pr43479.c:22^M 22 asm volatile ("" : : "r" (k), "r" (l));^M $1 = 8^M $2 = 8^M And this matcher: remote_expect target [timeout_value] { -re {[\n\r]\$1 = ([^\n\r]*)[\n\r]+\$2 = ([^\n\r]*)[\n\r]} { set first $expect_out(1,string) set second $expect_out(2,string) if { $first == $second } { pass "$testname" } else { send_log "$first != $second\n" fail "$testname" } remote_close target return } # Too old GDB -re "Unhandled dwarf expression|Error in sourced command file" { unsupported "$testname" remote_close target return } timeout { unsupported "$testname" remote_close target return } } The first thing to realize is that output can match two cases. One where we actually have a pass/fail for the test or the second case where we have too old GDB. When more than one case matches, the first has priority (ie, the pass/fail case). Furthermore, depending on buffering issues, we may or may not see the $1 = 8 and $2 = 8 lines at the right time and thus we'd fall match the "too old gdb" case. This results in the exact same test sometime passing/failing and other times being unsupported which makes comparing test runs difficult. This patch reorders the two clauses so that in the case of a double match, we'll be consistent with the case where matching occurs before seeing the $1 = and $2 = lines. Hopefully this brings some more stability to the guality tests. OK for trunk?
