Restore original GDB prompt in define.exp
define.exp will fail on a GDB which has set a custom prompt to identify itself. This is because the test resets the prompt to a hard coded "(gdb)" but then verifies the success of this against the value in $gdb_prompt, which is set to the custom prompt. The original approach to fix this involved resetting the prompt to $gdb_prompt rather than a hard coded "(gdb)". However it was noted during review that $gdb_prompt is a regular expression rather than a string. This is problematic because in general the prompt would be reset to a regular expression rather than an instance of a string accepted by said regular expression. The fix used in this commit avoids the above issue by capturing the literal prompt from running "show prompt" and uses this literal to restore the previous prompt. Regression tested with GCC 7.3.0 on x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-07-10 Richard Bunt <richard.bunt@arm.com> Stephen Roberts <stephen.roberts@arm.com> * gdb.base/define.exp: Restore original prompt.
