# In the past we would use glibc's buffered input for the mi tty.
# This buffering would cause problems if two commands are sent to gdb
# in a single write call, and, if the first command (excluding its
# trailing newline) exactly filled glibc's internal buffer.
#
# The solution to this problem was to stop using glibc's buffering for
# the mi tty.
#
# To test for this situation we send two command to gdb in a loop, the
# first command gets progressively bigger.  We check that gdb
# correctly sees both commands.

# passing two commands to gdb in a single write action.  The first
# command is increasingly long, while the second command stays very
# short.

# Check that gdb sees, and performs, both commands.

	# second comand output before the first commands output.

	# once that has been found, we start looking for the second
	# command output, this seems pretty reliable.
