Cygwin debugging does not support follow fork. There is currently no
interface between the debugger and the Cygwin runtime to be able to
intercept forks and execs. Consequently, testcases that try to
exercise fork/exec all FAIL, and several hit long cascading timeouts.
Add a new allow_fork_tests procedure, meant to be used with require,
and sprinkle it throughout testcases that exercise fork.
Note that some tests currently are skipped on targets other than
Linux, with something like:
# Until "set follow-fork-mode" and "catch vfork" are implemented on
# other targets...
#
if {![istarget "*-linux*"]} {
continue
}
However, some BSD ports also support fork debugging nowadays, and the
testcases were never adjusted... That is why the new allow_fork_tests
procedure doesn't look for linux.
With this patch, on Cygwin, I get this:
$ make check TESTS="*/*fork*.exp"
...
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 6
# of untested testcases 1
# of unsupported tests 31

# Test that "catch fork" works on static executables.
|
|
|
|
# For instance, on Linux we need PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK set before the program
|
|
# reaches the fork. GDBserver was only setting flags when it reached the first
|
|
# stop *after* arch_setup. In a dynamic executable there is often a swbreak in
|
|
# ld.so probes before reaching main, and ptrace flags were set then. But a
|
|
# static executable would just keep running and never catch the fork.
