gdb/testsuite: Introduce compiler_supports_ctf_debug guard function

Most versions of GCC in the wild don't support CTF debug format right
now, so, rather than attempting to compile the tests and failing each
time, this patch introduces a guard function to check if the compiler
supports CTF.  If we don't have CTF support then the CTF tests are
skipped.

This patch only updates 3 of the 4 CTF tests, the fourth will be
handled in the next patch.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp: Skip test if CTF is not supported in
	the compiler.  Clean up header comment a little.
	* gdb.base/ctf-ptype.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.base/ctf-whatis.exp: Likewise.
	* lib/gdb.exp (compiler_supports_ctf_debug): New proc.

Thanks for the patch.

I tend to suspect this should wait for the other patch (mentioned below).
What do you think?

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-10/msg00450.html reviews a very similar patch.  There I suggested using "unsupported" in these cases, since I think this is the current style.

That's fine.  I originally posted this to the m/l while back[1], I hadn't noticed that Nick had duplicated the work since then.  My main interest is the other two patches in this series.

If yours came first, I'm ok if you want to get it in earlier so you can
unblock your other patches.  I do think it should use `unsupported` though.

Thanks again for doing this.

[review v3] gdb/testsuite: Introduce skip_ctf_tests guard function

......................................................................


Patch Set 3:

In this revision I've:

1. Changed the name of the guard function to skip_cft_tests, this matches what Nick used in his patch series.  I liked that name more,

2. Made use of unsupported when we skip ctf test files,

3. Removed the stray logging line I left in.

This patch does overlap with https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-10/msg00450.html in its introduction of the guard function, but that patch covers other issues too.  This series goes on to rewrite some of the ctf test files, something that's not covered in Nick's patch.

[pushed] gdb/testsuite: Introduce skip_ctf_tests guard function

[Sourceware to Gerrit sync (Code Review)]

The original change was created by Andrew Burgess.

Change URL: https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/121
......................................................................

gdb/testsuite: Introduce skip_ctf_tests guard function

Most versions of GCC in the wild don't support CTF debug format right
now, so, rather than attempting to compile the tests and failing each
time, this patch introduces a guard function to check if the compiler
supports CTF.  If we don't have CTF support then the CTF tests are
skipped.

This patch only updates 3 of the 4 CTF tests, the fourth will be
handled in the next patch.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/ctf-constvars.exp: Skip test if CTF is not supported in
	the compiler.  Clean up header comment a little.
	* gdb.base/ctf-ptype.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.base/ctf-whatis.exp: Likewise.
	* lib/gdb.exp (skip_ctf_tests): New proc.
