In completion tests in various test-cases, we've been running into these "clearing input line" timeouts: ... (gdb) $cmd^GPASS: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd" FAIL: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd" (clearing input line) (timeout) ... where $cmd == "maintenance selftest name_that_does_not_exist". AFAIU, the following scenario happens: - expect sends "$cmd\t" - gdb detects the stdin event, and calls rl_callback_read_char until it comes to handle \t - readline interprets the \t as completion, tries to complete, fails to do so, outputs a bell (^G) - expect sees the bell, and proceeds to send ^C - readline is still in the call to rl_callback_read_char, and stores the signal in _rl_caught_signal - readline returns from the call to rl_callback_read_char, without having handled _rl_caught_signal - gdb goes to wait for the next event - expect times out waiting for "Quit", the expected reaction for ^C Fix this by handling pending signals after each call to rl_callback_read_char. The fix is only available for readline 8.x, if --with-system-readline provides an older version, then the fix is disabled due to missing function rl_check_signals. Tested on x86_64-linux.

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.
