gdb/selftest-arch: Make register_test_foreach_arch generate arch tests lazily
The register_test_foreach_arch is used to instantiate a given selftest for all architectures supported by GDB. It is used in many _initialize_* functions (under initialize_all_files, called by gdb_init). Because the call is done during GDB's initialization, and because there is no guaranty about the order in which all the _initialize_* functions are executed, when register_test_foreach_arch is called, GDB is not fully initialized. Specifically, when a particular initialize function is executed, only the architectures registered at that point are listed by gdbarch_printable_names. As a consequence, the list of selftest effectively executed depends on the order the _initialize_* functions are called. This can be observed with the following: $ ./gdb/gdb \ -data-directory ./gdb/data-directory \ -quiet -batch -ex "maint selftest" 2>&1 \ | grep -E "Ran [0-9]+ unit tests" Ran 145 unit tests, 0 failed $ GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS=1 ./gdb/gdb \ -data-directory ./gdb/data-directory \ -quiet -batch -ex "maint selftest" 2>&1 \ | grep -E "Ran [0-9]+ unit tests" Ran 82 unit tests, 0 failed To fix this, make register_test_foreach_arch register a lazy selftest generator. This way when the test generator is eventually executed, all architectures are registered and we do not have a dependency on the order the initialize functions are executed in. Tested on x86_64-linux Change-Id: I88eefebf7d372ad672f42d3a103e89354bc8a925
