From 59132fd9777442eea8c05c6b4b96cee03c6273b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:12:05 -0700 Subject: Handle SIGSEGV in gdb selftests The gdb.gdb self-tests were timing out for me, which turned out to be PR testsuite/29325. Looking into it, the problem is that the version of the Boehm GC that is used by Guile on my machine causes a SEGV during stack probing. This unexpected stop confuses the tests and causes repeated timeouts. This patch adapts the two failing tests. This makes them work for me, and reduces the running time of gdb.gdb from 20 minutes to about 11 seconds.
