Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix random dejagnu test abort with simulator target
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 11:55:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AS8P193MB1285F810C8C9E340FCAAE304E4122@AS8P193MB1285.EURP193.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)
This is probably a dejagnu issue with the gdb testsuite
when a simulator target is used. I observed random
testrun aborts with dejagnu 1.6.2-1 from ubuntu 20.04
The problem starts when the test case gdb.base/sigwinch-notty.exp
tries to execute "sleep", although that is impossible with a
simulator. And for unknown reason the test case completes
(with errors) before the "after 1000" block is run.
Then in a totally different test this happens with 50% likelihood:
ERROR: (DejaGnu) proc "bgerror {can't read "gdb_pid": no such variable}" does not exist.
The error code is TCL LOOKUP COMMAND bgerror
The info on the error is:
invalid command name "bgerror"
while executing
"::tcl_unknown bgerror {can't read "gdb_pid": no such variable}"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel 1 ::tcl_unknown $args"
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 30815
# of unexpected failures 241
# of expected failures 3
# of known failures 23
# of unresolved testcases 241
# of untested testcases 96
# of unsupported tests 532
# of paths in test names 1
So the whole test run is aborted in the middle.
This patch should fix the issue.

v2: I took over Tom's suggestion 1:1, and gave it a few test runs with
no unexpected test aborts so far.
So this looks quite good to me, and has also a nice improvement of giving
an UNSUPPORTED message, with what exactly was the reason why the test
did not run.
