Subject: [PATCH] gdb/testsuite: Use default gdb_expect timeout in runto
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2024 13:59:03 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240420165903.930352-1-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> (raw)

runto uses a hard-coded timeout of 30s in its invocation of gdb_expect.
This is normally fine, but for very a slow system (e.g., an emulator) it
may not be enough time for GDB to reach the intended breakpoint.

gdb_expect can obtain a timeout value from user-configurable variables
when it's not given one explicitly, so use that mechanism instead since
the user will have already adjusted the timeout variable to account for
the slow system.

Hello,

When running testcases on a slow emulator, they failed while GDB was
starting up the inferior. This patch fixes the problem.
