I noticed [1] a test bug in gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp.
Simplified, the test code in question looks somewhat like this:
~~~
# Detach from a process, and ensure that it exits after detaching.
# This relies on inferior I/O.
proc detach_and_expect_exit {test} {
gdb_test_multiple "detach" $test ....
set saw_prompt 0
set saw_inf_exit 0
while { !$saw_prompt && !$saw_inf_exit } {
gdb_test_multiple "" $test {
-re "exited, status=0" {
set saw_inf_exit 1
}
-re "$gdb_prompt " {
set saw_prompt 1
}
}
}
pass $test
}
~~~
The bug is in the while loop's condition. We want to make sure we see
both the inferior output and the prompt, so the loop's test should be:
- while { !$saw_prompt && !$saw_inf_exit } {
+ while { !$saw_prompt || !$saw_inf_exit } {
If we just fix that, the test starts failing though, because it
exposes a couple latent problems:
- When called from test_detach_killed_outside, the parent doesn't
print "exited, status=0", because in that case the child dies with a
signal, and so detach_and_expect_exit times out.
Fix it by making the parent print "signaled, sig=9" in that case,
and have the .exp expect it.
- When testing against --target_board=native-gdbserver, sometimes we'd
get this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
ERROR: : spawn id exp9 not open
while executing
"expect {
-i exp8 -timeout 220
-i $server_spawn_id
eof {
pass $test
wait -i $server_spawn_id
unset server_spawn_id
}
timeout {
..."
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel $body" NONE : spawn id exp9 not open
The problem is that:
- inferior_spawn_id and server_spawn_id are the same when testing
with gdbserver.
- gdbserver exits after "detach", so we get an eof for
$inferior_spawn_id in the loop in detach_and_expect_exit.
That's the first "ERROR: Process no longer exists".
- and then when we reach test_server_exit, server_spawn_id
is already closed (because server_spawn_id==inferior_spawn_id).
To handle this, make the loop in detach_and_expect_exit use an
indirect spawn id list and remove $inferior_spawn_id from the list
as soon as we got the inferior output we're expecting, so that the
"eof" is left unprocessed until we reach test_server_exit.
[1] I changed GDB in a way that should have made the test fail, but it
didn't.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-12-03 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.c: Include <errno.h>
and <string.h>.
(parent_function): Print distinct messages when waitpid fails, or
the child exits with a signal, or the child exits for an unhandled
reason.
* gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp
(detach_and_expect_exit): New 'inf_output_re' parameter and use
it. Wait for both inferior output and GDB's prompt. Use an
indirect spawn id list.
(do_detach): New parameter 'child_exit'. Use it to compute
expected inferior output.
(test_detach, test_detach_watch, test_detach_killed_outside):
Adjust to pass down the expected child exit kind.
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.
