I found myself wanting to run a few specific selftests while developing.
I thought it would be nice to be able to provide multiple test names
when running `maintenant selftests`. The arguments to that command is
currently interpreted as a single filter (not split by spaces), it now
becomes a list a filters, split by spaces. A test is executed when it
matches at least one filter.
Here's an example of the result in GDB:
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord
Running selftest unordered_remove.
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord foobar
Running selftest unordered_remove.
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed
Since the selftest machinery is also shared with gdbserver, I also
adapted gdbserver. It accepts a `--selftest` switch, which accepts an
optional filter argument. I made it so you can now pass `--selftest`
multiple time to add filters.
It's not so useful right now though: there's only a single selftest
right now in GDB and it's for an architecture I can't compile. So I
tested by adding dummy tests, here's an example of the result:
$ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo
Running selftest foo.
foo
Running selftest foobar.
foobar
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
$ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo --selftest=bar
Running selftest bar.
bar
Running selftest foo.
foo
Running selftest foobar.
foobar
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* selftest.h (run_tests): Change parameter to array_view.
* selftest.c (run_tests): Change parameter to array_view and use
it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* maint.c (maintenance_selftest): Split args and pass array_view
to run_tests.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* server.cc (captured_main): Accept multiple `--selftest=`
options. Pass all `--selftest=` arguments to run_tests.

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. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
