gdb/testsuite: another attempt to fix gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp
The gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp test has been a little problematic, see commits: commit89702edd93Date: Thu Mar 9 12:31:26 2023 +0100 [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp on native-gdbserver and commit2e5843d87cDate: Fri Nov 19 14:33:39 2021 +0100 [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp But I recently saw a test failure for that test, which looked like this: ... (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp: non_stop=on: thread 1 selected continue -a Continuing. Thread 1 "thread-specific" hit Breakpoint 4, end () at /tmp/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.c:29 29 } (gdb) [Thread 0x7ffff7c5c700 (LWP 1552086) exited] Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted - thread 2 no longer in the thread list. FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-specific-bp.exp: non_stop=on: continue to end (timeout) ... This only crops up (for me) when running on a loaded machine, and still only occurs sometimes. I've had to leave the test running in a loop for 10+ minutes sometimes in order to see the failure. The problem is that we use gdb_test_multiple to try and match two patterns: (1) The 'Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted ....' message, and (2) The GDB prompt. As written in the test, we understand that these patterns can occur in any order, and we have a flag for each pattern. Once both patterns have been seen then we PASS the test. The problem is that once expect has matched a pattern, everything up to, and including the matched text is discarded from the input buffer. Thus, if the input buffer contains: <PATTERN 2><PATTERN 1> Then expect will first try to match <PATTERN 1>, which succeeds, and then expect discards the entire input buffer up to the end of the <PATTERN 1>. As a result, we will never spot <PATTERN 2>. Obviously we can't just reorder the patterns within the gdb_test_multiple, as the output can legitimately (and most often does) occur in the other order, in which case the test would mostly fail, and only occasionally pass! I think the easiest solution here is just to have the gdb_test_multiple contain two patterns, each pattern consists of the two parts, but in the alternative orders, thus, for a particular output configuration, only one regexp will match. With this change in place, I no longer see the intermittent failure. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
