gdb.java/jmisc.exp failures on multiple platforms

gdb.java/jmisc.exp failures on multiple platforms

[J. Johnston]

I was looking through gdb testsuite failures and noticed that
gdb.java/jmisc.exp doesn't work on multiple platforms.  We aren't setting
the breakpoint at jmisc.main successfully.  It doesn't recognize
jmisc.main or jmisc::main, however if you give it the full prototype
name with the argument, it works fine.

Did this use to work?

Another strange quirk is how the tab key is working.  If you
tab on jmisc, it shows you members of jmisc, but if you tab on
"jmisc." or "jmisc::" it shows you everything.  Again,
I am wondering if this worked previously and has something regressed
it.

No.

I added gjc to my test bed on 2002-05-10 and it was broken then.
It's remained broken ever since.

      This is the first week with results for Java tests.

I don't know.
