Subject: [PATCH v4 14/15] gdb.base/skip.exp: Use finish to exit functions
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2022 16:44:40 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220720194441.168906-16-blarsen@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220720194441.168906-1-blarsen@redhat.com>

gdb.base/skip.exp was making use of a fixed amount of step commands to
exit some functions.  This caused some problems when using clang to test
GDB, as GDB would need fewer steps to reach the desired spots.  For
instance, when testing in the section "step after disabling 3", the log
looks like this:

    Breakpoint 4, main () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:32
    32        x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
    (gdb) step
    bar () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip1.c:21
    21        return 1;
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step 1
    step
    foo () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:42
    42        return 0;
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step 2
    step
    main () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:34
    34        test_skip_file_and_function ();
    (gdb) step
    test_skip_file_and_function () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:59
    59        test_skip ();
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step 3
    step
    test_skip () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:48
    48      }
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step 4
    step
    test_skip_file_and_function () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:60
    60        skip1_test_skip_file_and_function ();
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step 5

This shows that the feature is working, but it is not easy to use steps
to test this feature without analyzing all possible outputs, such as
using gdb_step_until_regexp.  Instead, skip.exp now uses finish to leave
functions, synchronizing through compilers and compiler versions.  Some
test names were also changed to be a bit more descriptive.  The new log
looks like this, independently of compiler used:

    Breakpoint 4, main () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:32
    32        x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
    (gdb) step
    bar () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip1.c:21
    21        return 1;
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step into bar
    finish
    Run till exit from #0  bar () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip1.c:21
    main () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:32
    32        x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
    Value returned is $2 = 1
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: return from bar
    step
    foo () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:42
    42        return 0;
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step into foo
    finish
    Run till exit from #0  foo () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:42
    main () at binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:32
    32        x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
    Value returned is $3 = 0
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: Return from foo
    step
    34        test_skip_file_and_function ();
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/skip.exp: step after disabling 3: step and skip baz
