            Bug ID: 25748
           Summary: readnow variant that uses partial symtabs
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: testsuite
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The -readnow behaviour is to skip building partial symtabs, and instead fully
expand all symtabs upon load.

We have a readnow.exp target board that sets -readnow as default gdb flag, and
allows us to run the entire testsuite while testing the -readnow behaviour.

It would be interesting to have a variant, say, -readnow-slow or some such that
does both:
- read in all partial symtabs
- then expand all partial symtabs into full symtabs

Having a target board that exercises this scenario might uncover a few bugs.

--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
Maybe this could be done by sending some "maint" command to
expand all the psymtabs after the "file" command.
Though on reflection I guess that wouldn't work for shared
library testing.
