gdb_is_target_native uses "maint print target-stack", which is
unnecessary when checking whether gdb_protocol is empty would do.
Checking gdb_protocol is more efficient, and can be done before
starting GDB and running to main, unlike gdb_is_target_native.
This adds a new gdb_protocol_is_native procedure, and uses it in place
of gdb_is_target_native.
At first, I thought that we'd end up with a few testcases needing to
use gdb_is_target_native still, especially multi-target tests that
connect to targets different from the default board target, but no,
actually all uses of gdb_is_target_native could be converted.
gdb_is_target_native will be eliminated in a following patch.
In some spots, we no longer need to defer the check until after
starting GDB, so the patch adjusts accordingly.

Commit 467a34bb9e ("gdb tests: Allow for "LWP" or "process" in thread IDs
from info threads") introduces a new global variable tdlabel_re, but fails to
indicate it's global when used in procs in four test-cases.
Fix this by adding "global tdlabel_re".
Tested on aarch64-linux.
Several tests assume that the first word after a thread ID in 'info
threads' output is "Thread". However, several targets use "LWP"
instead such as the FreeBSD and NetBSD native targets. The Linux
native target also uses "LWP" if libthread_db is not being used.
Targets that do not support threads use "process" as the first word
via normal_pid_to_str.
Add a tdlabel_re global variable as a regular-expression for a thread
label in `info threads' that matches either "process", "Thread", or
"LWP".
Some other tests in the tree don't require a specific word, and
some targets may use other first words (e.g. OpenBSD uses "thread"
and Ravenscar threads use "Ravenscar Thread").
The output of "info breakpoints" includes breakpoint, watchpoint,
tracepoint, and catchpoint if they are created, so it should show
all the four types are deleted in the output of "info breakpoints"
to report empty list after "delete breakpoints".
It should also change the output of "delete breakpoints" to make it
clear that watchpoints, tracepoints, and catchpoints are also being
deleted. This is suggested by Guinevere Larsen, thank you.

I noticed that running the whole testsuite in serial mode (which means
all the .exp files are ran in the same TCL environment, one after the
other) with the native-extended-gdbserver board caused some weird
failures, for instance a lot of internal errors in the reverse tests,
like:

That test does not restore GDBFLAGS properly when it's done, it leaves
`-ex \"maint set target-non-stop on\""` in there, which breaks some
subsequent tests. The problem is that this line:
save_vars { $::GDBFLAGS } {
should not use a `$` before the variable name. Passes the content of
`::GDBFLAGS` to save_vars, which is not what we want. We want to pass
the `::GDBFLAGS` string. Fix that.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.
This commit extends the breakpoint mechanism to allow for inferior
specific breakpoints (but not watchpoints in this commit).
As GDB gains better support for multiple connections, and so for
running multiple (possibly unrelated) inferiors, then it is not hard
to imagine that a user might wish to create breakpoints that apply to
any thread in a single inferior. To achieve this currently, the user
would need to create a condition possibly making use of the $_inferior
convenience variable, which, though functional, isn't the most user
friendly.
This commit adds a new 'inferior' keyword that allows for the creation
of inferior specific breakpoints.
Inferior specific breakpoints are automatically deleted when the
associated inferior is removed from GDB, this is similar to how
thread-specific breakpoints are deleted when the associated thread is
deleted.
Watchpoints are already per-program-space, which in most cases mean
watchpoints are already inferior specific. There is a small window
where inferior-specific watchpoints might make sense, which is after a
vfork, when two processes are sharing the same address space.
However, I'm leaving that as an exercise for another day. For now,
attempting to use the inferior keyword with a watchpoint will give an
error, like this:
(gdb) watch a8 inferior 1
Cannot use 'inferior' keyword with watchpoints
A final note on the implementation: currently, inferior specific
breakpoints, like thread-specific breakpoints, are inserted into every
inferior, GDB then checks once the inferior stops if we are in the
correct thread or inferior, and resumes automatically if we stopped in
the wrong thread/inferior.
An obvious optimisation here is to only insert breakpoint locations
into the specific program space (which mostly means inferior) that
contains either the inferior or thread we are interested in. This
would reduce the number times GDB has to stop and then resume again in
a multi-inferior setup.
I have a series on the mailing list[1] that implements this
optimisation for thread-specific breakpoints. Once this series has
landed I'll update that series to also handle inferior specific
breakpoints in the same way. For now, inferior specific breakpoints
are just slightly less optimal, but this is no different to
thread-specific breakpoints in a multi-inferior debug session, so I
don't see this as a huge problem.

Like the previous two commits, this commit fixes set/show inferior-tty
to work with $_gdb_setting_str.
Instead of using a scratch variable which is then pushed into the
current inferior from a set callback, move to the API that allows for
getters and setters, and store the value directly within the current
inferior.
Update an existing test to check the inferior-tty setting.

The previous commit fixed set/show args when used with
$_gdb_setting_str, this commit fixes set/show cwd.
Instead of using a scratch variable which is then pushed into the
current inferior from a set callback, move to the API that allows for
getters and setters, and store the value directly within the current
inferior.
Update the existing test to check the cwd setting.
I noticed that $_gdb_setting_str was not working with 'args', e.g.:
$ gdb -q --args /tmp/hello.x arg1 arg2 arg3
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) show args
Argument list to give program being debugged when it is started is "arg1 arg2 arg3".
(gdb) print $_gdb_setting_str("args")
$1 = ""
This is because the 'args' setting is implemented using a scratch
variable ('inferior_args_scratch') which is updated when the user does
'set args ...'. There is then a function 'set_args_command' which is
responsible for copying the scratch area into the current inferior.
However, when the user sets the arguments via the command line the
scratch variable is not updated, instead the arguments are pushed
straight into the current inferior.
There is a second problem, when the current inferior changes the
scratch area is not updated, which means that the value returned will
only ever reflect the last call to 'set args ...' regardless of which
inferior is currently selected.
Luckily, the fix is pretty easy, set/show variables have an
alternative API which requires we provide some getter and setter
functions. With this done the scratch variable can be removed and the
value returned will now always reflect the current inferior.
While working on set/show args I also rewrote show_args_command to
remove the use of deprecated_show_value_hack.

When running test-case gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp on powerpc64le-linux, I run into:

- using have_compile_and_link_flag in test-case gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp.

I noticed that breakpoint::print_recreate_thread was printing the
global thread-id. This function is used to implement the 'save
breakpoints' command, and should be writing out suitable CLI commands
for recreating the current breakpoints. The CLI does not use global
thread-ids, but instead uses the inferior specific thread-ids,
e.g. "2.1".
After some discussion on the mailing list it was suggested that the
most consistent solution would be for the saved breakpoints file to
always contain the inferior-qualified thread-id, so the file would
include "thread 1.1" instead of just "thread 1", even when there is
only a single inferior.
So, this commit adds print_full_thread_id, which is just like the
existing print_thread_id, only it always prints the inferior-qualified
thread-id.
I then update the existing print_thread_id to make use of this new
function, and finally, I update breakpoint::print_recreate_thread to
also use this new function.
There's a multi-inferior test that confirms the saved breakpoints file
correctly includes the fully-qualified thread-id, and I've also
updated the single inferior test gdb.base/save-bp.exp to have it
validate that the saved breakpoints file includes the
inferior-qualified thread-id, even for this single inferior case.
I noticed that describe_other_breakpoints was printing the global
thread-id to the CLI. For CLI output we should be printing the
inferior local thread-id (e.g. "2.1"). This can be seen in the
following GDB session:
(gdb) info threads

Notice that GDB says:
Note: breakpoint 3 (thread 2) also set at pc 0x40110a.
The 'thread 2' in here is using the global thread-id, we should
instead say 'thread 2.1' which corresponds to how the user specified
the breakpoint.
This commit fixes this issue and adds a test.

This patch applies the appropriate FIXME notes described in commit 5b6d1e4
"Multi-target support".
"You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress."
Using this patch it is possible to configure per-remote targets'
feature packets.
Given the following setup for two gdbservers:
~~~~
gdbserver --multi :1234
gdbserver --disable-packet=vCont --multi :2345
~~~~
Before this patch configuring of range-stepping was not possible for one
of two connected remote targets with different support for the vCont
packet. As one of the targets supports vCont, it should be possible to
configure "set range-stepping". However, the output of GDB looks like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :1234
Remote debugging using :1234
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) target extended-remote :2345

(gdb) set range-stepping on
warning: Range stepping is not supported by the current target
(gdb) inferior 1
[Switching to inferior 1 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) set range-stepping on
warning: Range stepping is not supported by the current target
~~~~
Two warnings are shown. The warning for inferior 1 should not appear
as it is connected to a target supporting the vCont package.
~~~~
(gdb) target extended-remote :1234
Remote debugging using :1234
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) target extended-remote :2345

(gdb) set range-stepping on
warning: Range stepping is not supported by the current target
(gdb) inferior 1
[Switching to inferior 1 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) set range-stepping on
(gdb)
~~~~
Now only one warning is shown for inferior 2, which is connected to
a target not supporting vCont.
The per-remote target feature array is realized by a new class
remote_features, which stores the per-remote target array and
provides functions to determine supported features of the target.
A remote_target object now has a new member of that class.
Each time a new remote_target object is initialized, a new per-remote
target array is constructed based on the global remote_protocol_packets
array. The global array is initialized in the function _initialize_remote
and can be configured using the command line. Before this patch the
command line configuration affected current targets and future remote
targets (due to the global feature array used by all remote
targets). This behavior is different and the configuration applies as
follows:
- If a target is connected, the command line configuration affects the
current connection. All other existing remote targets are not
affected.
- If not connected, the command line configuration affects future
connections.
The show command displays the current remote target's configuration. If no
remote target is selected the default configuration for future
connections is shown.
If we have for instance the following setup with inferior 2 being
selected:
~~~~
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 <null> 1 (extended-remote :1234)
* 2 <null> 2 (extended-remote :2345)
~~~~
Before this patch, if we run 'set remote multiprocess-feature-packet', the
following configuration was set:
The feature array of all remote targets (in this setup the two connected
targets) and all future remote connections are affected.
After this patch, it will be configured as follows:
The feature array of target with port :2345 which is currently selected
will be configured. All other existing remote targets are not affected.
The show command 'show remote multiprocess-feature-packet' will display
the configuration of target with port :2345.
Due to this configuration change, it is required to adapt the test
"gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-target-info-inferiors.exp" to configure the
multiprocess-feature-packet before the connections are created.
To inform the gdb user about the new behaviour of the 'show remote
PACKET-NAME' commands and the new configuration impact for remote
targets using the 'set remote PACKET-NAME' commands the commands'
outputs are adapted. Due to this change it is required to adapt each
test using the set/show remote 'PACKET-NAME' commands.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
The canonical form of 'if' in modern TCL is 'if {} {}'. But there's
still a bunch of places in the testsuite where we make use of the
'then' keyword, and sometimes these get copies into new tests, which
just spreads poor practice.
This commit removes all use of the 'then' keyword from the gdb.multi/
test script directory.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.
New in this version: add a dedicated test.

The reason is a wrong current process when find_one_thread is called.
The current process is the 2nd one, which was just attached. It does
not yet have thread_db data (proc->priv->thread_db is nullptr). As we
iterate on all threads of all process to fulfull the qxfer:threads:read
request, we get to a thread of process 1 for which we haven't read
thread_db information yet (lwp_info::thread_known is false), so we get
into find_one_thread. find_one_thread uses
`current_process ()->priv->thread_db`, assuming the current process
matches the ptid passed as a parameter, which is wrong. A segfault
happens when trying to dereference that thread_db pointer.
Fix this by making find_one_thread not assume what the current process /
current thread is. If it needs to call into libthread_db, which we know
will try to read memory from the current process, then temporarily set
the current process.
In the case where the thread is already know and we return early, we
don't need to switch process.
Add a test to reproduce this specific situation.

locno is printed when the breakpoint hit has more than one location.

Ends', it is ok to add new fields without changing the MI version.
Also, when a breakpoint is reached, the convenience variables
$_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno are set to the encountered breakpoint number
and location number.
$_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno can a.o. be used in the command list of a
breakpoint, to disable the specific encountered breakpoint, e.g.
disable $_hit_bpnum.$_hit_locno
In case the breakpoint has only one location, $_hit_locno is set to
the value 1, so as to allow a command such as:
disable $_hit_bpnum.$_hit_locno
to disable the breakpoint even when the breakpoint has only one location.
This also fixes a strange behaviour: when a breakpoint X has only
one location,
enable|disable X.1
is accepted but transforms the breakpoint in a multiple locations
breakpoint having only one location.
The changes in RFA v4 handle the comments of Tom Tromey:
- Changed convenience var names from $bkptno/$locno to
$_hit_bpnum/$_hit_locno.
- updated the tests and user manual accordingly.
User manual also explictly describes that $_hit_locno is set to 1
for a breakpoint with a single location.
- The variable values are now set in bpstat_do_actions_1 so that
they are set for silent breakpoints, and when several breakpoints
are hit at the same time, that the variables are set to the printed
breakpoint.
The changes in RFA v3 handle the additional comments of Eli:
GDB/NEW:
- Use max 80-column
- Use 'code location' instead of 'location'.
- Fix typo $bkpno
- Ensure that disable $bkptno and disable $bkptno.$locno have
each their explanation inthe example
- Reworded the 'breakpoint-hit' paragraph.
gdb.texinfo:
- Use 'code location' instead of 'location'.
- Add a note to clarify the distinction between $bkptno and $bpnum.
- Use @kbd instead of examples with only one command.
Compared to RFA v1, the changes in v2 handle the comments given by
Keith Seitz and Eli Zaretskii:
- Use %s for the result of paddress
- Use bkptno_numopt_re instead of 2 different -re cases
- use C@t{++}
- Add index entries for $bkptno and $locno
- Added an example for "locno" in the mi interface
- Added examples in the Break command manual.
Add a new convenience variable $_inferior_thread_count that contains
the number of live (non-exited) threads in the current inferior. This
can be used in command scripts, or breakpoint conditions, etc to
adjust the behaviour for multi-threaded inferiors.
This value is only stable in all-stop mode. In non-stop mode, where
new threads can be started, and existing threads exit, at any time,
this convenience variable can give a different value each time it is
evaluated.
I saw this failure on a CI:

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/vfork-multi-inferior.exp: method=non-stop: start inferior 1
What happens is:
1. We start inferior 2 with "run&", it runs very slowly, takes time to
get to main
2. We switch to inferior 1, and run "start"
3. The temporary breakpoint inserted by "start" applies to all inferiors
4. Inferior 2 hits that breakpoint and GDB reports that hit
To avoid this, breakpoints inserted by "start" should be
inferior-specific. However, we don't have a nice way to make
inferior-specific breakpoints yet. It's possible to make
pspace-specific breakpoints (for example how the internal_breakpoint
constructor does) by creating a symtab_and_line manually. However,
inferiors can share program spaces (usually on particular embedded
targets), so we could have a situation where two inferiors run the same
code in the same program space. In that case, it would just not be
possible to insert a breakpoint in one inferior but not the other.
A simple solution that should work all the time is to add a condition to
the breakpoint inserted by "start", to check the inferior reporting the
hit is the expected one. This is what this patch implements.
Add a test that does:
- start in background inferior 1 that sleeps before reaching its main
function (using a sleep in a global C++ object's constructor)
- start inferior 2 with the "start" command, which also sleeps before
reaching its main function
- validate that we hit the breakpoint in inferior 2
Without the fix, we hit the breakpoint in inferior 1 pretty much all the
time. There could be some unfortunate scheduling causing the test not
to catch the bug, for instance if the scheduler decides not to schedule
inferior 1 for a long time, but it would be really rare. If the bug is
re-introduced, the test will catch it much more often than not, so it
will be noticed.

On Aarch64, you can set ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET to point to the 32-bit
compiler to use when testing gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp and
gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp. If you don't set it, then those
testcases don't run.
I guess that approximately nobody remembers to set ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET.
This commit adds a fallback. If ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET is not set, and
testing for Linux, try arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc,
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc as 32-bit
compilers, making sure that the produced executable runs on the target
machine before claiming that the compiler produces useful executables.

Many test cases had a few lines in the beginning that look like:
if { condition } {
continue
}
Where conditions varied, but were mostly in the form of ![runto_main] or
[skip_*_tests], making it quite clear that this code block was supposed
to finish the test if it entered the code block. This generates TCL
errors, as most of these tests are not inside loops. All cases on which
this was an obvious mistake are changed in this patch.
When running test-case gdb.multi/attach-no-multi-process.exp with
check-readmore, I get:

The problem is that the attach output is matched using gdb_test, which uses
the '$gdb_prompt $' regexp, and this does not handle the case that '(gdb) ' is
not the last available output.
Fix this by using a gdb_test_multiple instead with a '$gdb_prompt ' regexp, so
without the '$' anchor.
Tested on x86_64-linux with native, check-read1 and check-readmore.
When parsing the ptid out of a reply package, if the multi-process
extensions are not supported, use current_inferior's pid as the pid of
the reported thread, instead of inferior_ptid. This is needed because
the inferior_ptid may be null_ptid although a legit context exists,
due to a prior context switch via switch_to_inferior_no_thread.
Below is a scenario that illustrates what could go wrong. First,
setup a multi-target scenario. This is needed, because in a
multi-target setting, the inferior_ptid is cleared out before waiting
on targets. The second inferior below sits on top of a remote target.
Multi-process packets are disabled.

GDB tried to stop Thread 42000.26253.0, which does not exist, and we
are waiting for a stop event that will never happen. The PID in
'42000.26253.0', namely 42000, is the PID of magic_null_ptid.
It comes from gdb/remote.c:read_ptid:
/* Since the stub is not sending a process id, then default to
what's in inferior_ptid, unless it's null at this point. If so,
then since there's no way to know the pid of the reported
threads, use the magic number. */
if (inferior_ptid == null_ptid)
pid = magic_null_ptid.pid ();
else
pid = inferior_ptid.pid ();
if (obuf)
*obuf = pp;
return ptid_t (pid, tid);
Because multi-process was turned off, GDB did not parse an explicitly
specified PID. Furthermore, inferior_ptid == null_ptid, and
eventually GDB picked the PID from magic_null_ptid.
If target-non-stop is not turned on at the beginning, the same bug
reveals itself as a duplicated thread as shown below.

PR remote/9177 points out that "info files" mentions "serial" a couple
of times:
Remote serial target in gdb-specific protocol:
Debugging a target over a serial line.
However, often the remote target isn't really a serial connection.
It seems to me that this text could be a bit clearer; and furthermore
since "info files" prints the target's long description,
remote_target::files_info doesn't really add much and can simply be
removed.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9177
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
With gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp I run into:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp ...
ERROR: tcl error sourcing src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp.
ERROR: wrong # args: extra words after "else" clause in "if" command
while executing
"if [istarget "powerpc64*-*-*"] {
set march "-m64"
} else if [istarget "s390*-*-*"] {
set march "-m31"
} else {
set march "-m32"
}"
...
Fix the else if -> elseif typo.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The expect file has a procedure append_arch_options which sets march based
the istarget. The current if / else statement does not check for
powerpc64. The else statement is hit which sets march to -m32. This
results in compilation errors on 64-bit PowerPC.
This patch adds an if statement to check for powerpc64 and if true sets mach
to -m64.
The patch was tested on a Power 10 system. No compile errors were generated.
The test completes with 1 expected pass and no failures.
This commit adds a new object type gdb.TargetConnection. This new
type represents a connection within GDB (a connection as displayed by
'info connections').
There's three ways to find a gdb.TargetConnection, there's a new
'gdb.connections()' function, which returns a list of all currently
active connections.
Or you can read the new 'connection' property on the gdb.Inferior
object type, this contains the connection for that inferior (or None
if the inferior has no connection, for example, it is exited).
Finally, there's a new gdb.events.connection_removed event registry,
this emits a new gdb.ConnectionEvent whenever a connection is removed
from GDB (this can happen when all inferiors using a connection exit,
though this is not always the case, depending on the connection type).
The gdb.ConnectionEvent has a 'connection' property, which is the
gdb.TargetConnection being removed from GDB.
The gdb.TargetConnection has an 'is_valid()' method. A connection
object becomes invalid when the underlying connection is removed from
GDB (as discussed above, this might be when all inferiors using a
connection exit, or it might be when the user explicitly replaces a
connection in GDB by issuing another 'target' command).
The gdb.TargetConnection has the following read-only properties:
'num': The number for this connection,
'type': e.g. 'native', 'remote', 'sim', etc
'description': The longer description as seen in the 'info
connections' command output.
'details': A string or None. Extra details for the connection, for
example, a remote connection's details might be
'hostname:port'.
As follow-up to this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-August/171385.html
... make runto_main not pass no-message to runto. This means that if we
fail to run to main, for some reason, we'll emit a FAIL. This is the
behavior we want the majority of (if not all) the time.
Without this, we rely on tests logging a failure if runto_main fails,
otherwise. They do so in a very inconsisteny mannet, sometimes using
"fail", "unsupported" or "untested". The messages also vary widly.
This patch removes all these messages as well.
Also, remove a few "fail" where we call runto (and not runto_main). by
default (without an explicit no-message argument), runto prints a
failure already. In two places, gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and
gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp, remove "message" passed to runto.
This removes a few PASSes that we don't care about (but FAILs will still
be printed if we fail to run to where we want to). This aligns their
behavior with the rest of the testsuite.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp: inf1_how=attach: inf2_how=attach: stop with control-c (SIGINT)
If you look at the testcase's sources, you'll see that the intention
is to resumes the program with "continue", wait to see a few of those
"pid=..., count=..." lines, and then interrupt the program with
Ctrl-C. But somehow, that resulted in GDB printing "Quit", instead of
the Ctrl-C stopping the program with SIGINT.
Here's what is happening:
#1 - those "pid=..., count=..." lines we see above weren't actually
output by the inferior after it has been continued (see #1).
Note that "inf1_how" and "inf2_how" are "attach". What happened
is that those "pid=..., count=..." lines were output by the
inferiors _before_ they were attached to. We see them at that
point instead of earlier, because that's where the testcase
reads from the inferiors' spawn_ids.
#2 - The testcase mistakenly thinks those "pid=..., count=..." lines
happened after the continue was processed by GDB, meaning it has
waited enough, and so sends the Ctrl-C. GDB hasn't yet passed
the terminal to the inferior, so the Ctrl-C results in that
Quit.
The fix here is twofold:
#1 - flush inferior output right after attaching
#2 - consume the "Continuing" printed by "continue", indicating the
inferior has the terminal. This is the same as done throughout
the testsuite to handle this exact problem of sending Ctrl-C too
soon.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net <mailto:pedro@palves.net>>
* gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp (create_inferior): Flush

for "Continuing".

Minimize gdb restarts, applying the following rules:
- don't use prepare_for_testing unless necessary
- don't use clean_restart unless necessary
Also, if possible, replace build_for_executable + clean_restart
with prepare_for_testing for brevity.
Touches 68 test-cases.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The multi-target tests involve some inferiors using remote targets. By
default, GDB uses target: as the sysroot, which makes it read loaded
libraries and their debug info through GDBserver. This makes the tests
run slower than necessary.
Pass `-ex "set sysroot"` when launching GDB in these tests, so that GDB
always reads from its local file system.
On a system where I don't have debug info for libc, that reduces run
time for
$ make check TESTS="gdb.multi/multi-target-*.exp"
from 1:15 to 0:45.
On this other system where debug info is installed though, it reduces it
from 13:00 to 1:45.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.multi/multi-target.exp.tcl (setup): Add "set sysroot" to
GDBFLAGS.
