Fix gdb.gdb/ selftest tests when testing optimized GDB builds
After commit bf4692711232 ("Eliminate catch_errors"), GCC started inlining captured_command_loop in captured_main. And setting a breakpoint on captured_command_loop makes the inferior GDB stop in captured_main, _after_ captured_command_loop's call to interp_pre_command_loop, which prints the inferior GDB's prompt, has already executed, confusing the gdb.gdb/ selftest tests: (gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/complaints.exp: run until breakpoint at captured_command_loop WARNING: Couldn't test self Debugging GDB with GDB manually, we see: (top-gdb) b captured_command_loop Breakpoint 1 at 0x71ee60: file src/gdb/main.c, line 324. (top-gdb) r [....] (gdb) <<<<<< PROMPT HERE Thread 1 "gdb" hit Breakpoint 1, captured_main (data=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/main.c:1147 1147 captured_command_loop (); (top-gdb) Note the stop at 'captured_main', and the "PROMPT HERE" line. That prompt does not show up when debugging a non-optimized build of GDB. Fix this by preventing inlining of captured_command_loop. Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-10/msg00522.html gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * main.c (captured_command_loop): Add attribute noinline.
