This patch makes it possible to run tests requiring passing arguments to
the inferior with the native-gdbserver board. The end goal is to write
a test that verifies passing arguments to the inferior works, and to
have that test exercise inferior arguments passed on the gdbserver
command line, when using the native-gdbserver target board (in addition
to the other boards). This is done in the next patch.
With the native-gdbserver target board, gdbserver is started in
gdb_reload (implemented in config/gdbserver.exp), called in gdb_run_cmd.
gdb_run_cmd already supposedly accepts inferior arguments (although that
feature does not seem to be used anywhere), which it passes to the `run`
command, for non-stub target boards. I've changed gdb_run_cmd so that
it forwards these arguments to gdb_reload as well. gdb_reload passes
them to gdbserver_run, and they eventually make their way to the
gdbserver command line.
gdb_run_cmd currently accepts `args` (the varargs of tcl), which means
it receives inferior arguments as a list. This won't work with
arguments with spaces, because they will end up being formatted with
curly braces like this:
% set args [list hello "with spaces" world]
hello {with spaces} world
% puts "run $args"
run hello {with spaces} world
I've changed it to accept a single string that is passed to `run` and
gdb_reload. I've done the same change in gdb_start_cmd and
gdb_starti_cmd, although these two are not used with native-gdbserver.
I've changed all gdb_reload implementations in the tree to accept a new
inferior_args argument, although most of them don't do anything with it
(and don't need to). People maintaining target boards out of tree will
need to do the same.
I found two tests to adjust to avoid adding new failures or errors.
These tests needed new [use_gdb_stub] checks, because they rely on
having GDB run new processes. These are guarded by a [target_info
exists noargs], which made them get skipped on native-gdbserver. But
now that the native-gdbserver board supports args, this is no longer
enough.
Note that with this change, noargs and use_gdb_stub are orthogonal. It
took me a moment to grasp this, so I thought I would spell out the
different possible situations:
- !noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb, can pass
args
- noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb (perhaps
through extended-remote protocol, the simulator, some other target),
but that target doesn't support inferior arguments
- noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects using the remote protocol, that program
does not support passing args to the inferior process
- !noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects u sing the remote protocol, that program
supports passing args to the inferior process
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_run_cmd): Change argument from args to
inferior_args. Pass it to gdb_reload.
(gdb_start_cmd, gdb_starti_cmd): Change argument from args to
inferior_args.
(gdb_reload): Add inferior_args argument.
* config/gdbserver.exp (gdb_reload): Add inferior_args argument,
pass it to gdbserver_run.
* boards/native-gdbserver.exp: Do not set noargs.
* boards/native-extended-gdbserver.exp (gdb_reload): Add
inferior_args argument.
* boards/stdio-gdbserver-base.exp (gdb_reload): Likewise.
* gdb.base/a2-run.exp: Check for use_gdb_stub.
* gdb.base/args.exp: Likewise.
