gdb/testsuite: special case '^' in gdb_test pattern
Added some special handling of '^' to gdb_test -- a leading '^' will
cause the command regexp to automatically be included in the expected
output pattern.
It was pointed out that the '-wrap' flag of gdb_test_multiple is
supposed to work in the same way as gdb_test, and that the recent
changes for '^' had not been replicated for gdb_test_multiple. This
patch addresses this issue.
So, after this commit, the following two constructs should have the
same meaning:
gdb_test "command" "^output" "test name"
gdb_test_multiple "command" "test name" {
-re -wrap "^output" {
pass $gdb_test_name
}
}
In both cases the '^' will case gdb.exp to inject a regexp that
matches 'command' after the '^' and before the 'output', this is in
addition to adding the $gdb_prompt pattern after 'output' in the
normal way.
The special '^' handling is only applied when '-wrap' is used, as this
is the only mode that aims to mimic gdb_test.
While working on this patch I realised that I could actually improve
the logic for the special '^' handling in the case where the expected
output pattern is empty. I replicated these updates for both gdb_test
and gdb_test_multiple in order to keep these two paths in sync.
There were a small number of tests that needed adjustment after this
change, mostly just removing command regexps that are now added
automatically, but the gdb.base/settings.exp case was a little weird
as it turns out trying to match a single blank line is probably harder
now than it used to be -- still, I suspect this is a pretty rare case,
so I think the benefits (improved anchoring) outweigh this small
downside (IMHO).
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
