Test printing structure arguments of -2,4,6,8,12,16,and 20 bytes. Same for structure return of all those -sizes ("return", "finish", and call function). - -Get crossload tests to use --enable-targets and reenable them. - -corefile.exp: -1. Print variables from the core file (data and stack), and text -(from the exec file). This tests whether the corefile sections are -mapped to the right addresses. -2. Test what happens when we get a new exec file without explicitly -getting rid of the core file (we at least must avoid core dumps and such). -3. Test backtrace in corefile.exp. -4. Test ability to run program when there is a core target, then go -back to the core file when the program exits. - -Test handling of floating point variables -1. float, double, or long double -2. in register or saved register or memory. Also the case where a -double is in two float registers and only one of them is saved. -3. print them or set them -4. (Alpha) integer (32 or 64 bit) in floating point register. - -Print registers--"p $r5", "p sizeof ($r5)". Test that they print -appropriately (integer registers in decimal, registers which always -contain addresses (pc, probably sp and fp, maybe others) in hex, -floating point). - -Test completer. There is a list of test cases in main.c in the gdb -source. Test these with TAB, M-?, and the "complete" command. - -Test "info line" with all kinds of linespecs. Test that the last line -of the file works right. - -weird.exp--test that unrecognized cross-reference types or -unrecognized visibility or virtual characters get skipped properly -(see stabs.texinfo). - -Test C++ nested types (especially if PR 1954 is fixed; even if not -*some* things already should work even in the presence of nested -types). Test classes nested more than 9 levels deep (g++ mangles -these differently) (both a demangle test and some tests which also -test the compiler). Test calling a method of a class nested more than -9 levels (for gdb_mangle_name and demangling). - -Test static member functions (C++). Test that "ptype" shows them -correctly, both before and after they have been converted from stub -methods. Test that we can call them. - -Test printing complicated types, including functions, pointers to -arrays of pointers of functions, functions which return pointers to -functions, etc. - -Test GDB expressions--test all operators (and overloaded operators for -C++). Test integer constants which are signed or unsigned int, long, -or long long. Test detection of overflow of an integer constant. -Here are a few integer constants to test (test they get the right -types): 5, 5LL, 5LuL, 5L6u (invalid), 5LU. Maybe things like -0x12345678, 0x87654321, etc., but their types depend on sizes of int, -long, etc. - -Test that printing const-qualified versions of various types works. -In particular, on the sparc and probably other machines, "double" is -handled differently from most types because it requires more alignment -and thus goes in a different section (there is a gcc 2.4.5 bug with -"const double" on sparc). - -Test that GDB's "source" command works and that things work if stdin -is redirected (to a file or a pipe). Test user defined command. Run -an inferior each of these ways (to test that inflow.c works). Test -that GDB works if the last line of stdin or a source'd file lacks a -newline. - -Test that module__2do (for example) in a C program does not get -demangled. - -Test that unmatched single quotes produce error messages, both in -expressions and linespecs. - -Test "cd". "foo/bar/.." should get simplified to "foo". "/../.." -should not get simplified (for Mach). "/.." should not get simplified -(for other networked OSes; POSIX.1 section B.2.3.7). All these -examples should continue to work with trailing slashes. - -Test scoping; here is a start - 1 int i=2; - 2 int j=3; - 3 main() - 4 { - 5 int i; - 6 for (i=600; i>0; i--) - 7 print_line(i); - 8 } - 9 -10 print_line(i) -11 int i; -12 { -13 h(); -14 printf("%d\n",i); -15 } -16 -17 h() -18 { -19 printf("In h..."); -20 } -Set a breakpoint in h, and print i, print_line::i, and main::i. Set a -breakpoint in main (or don't run the program), and test that -print_line::i is an error. But if i were static, "p main::i" should -work even if the program is not being run. - -Write a test for the reentracy bug with rs6000_struct_return_address -in rs6000-tdep.c. - -Test "return" from dummy frames. Test "return" from non-innermost -frame. Test that "return" from a non-innermost frame restores -registers which are saved not in that frame but in a frame more inner -(I believe this currently works on few if any architectures). - -FORTRAN common blocks (a.out and xcoff--weird.exp has the start of -one but it is not quite right as of 19 Nov 1993). - -Test that "x" command sets $_ and $__. Test $_ in general. - -Test that "p/a" works when given addresses in text, data, and bss -segments. Test that it works if program is compiled with or without --g. Test that it works if preceding symbol is static or if it is -extern. - -Given `char abc[] = "abc\0def";' test "x/s abc" followed by "x/s" -(should display "abc" followed by "def"). Test this works with no -error message even if this is the last thing in the section (tests -that val_print_string ignores an error if the error occurs after the -'\0'). - -Test ability to process NMAGIC a.out files. - -Test shared libraries: "next" over printf, "step" into a function in -a shared library which has line number info, breakpoint in a function -in a shared library (either before or after the program is run and the -shared libraries are loaded--also maybe write a test where the PLT -will be in an unloaded state even though the shared library is loaded). - -If there are two breakpoints in the same place, and exactly one of -them has its condition true, test that the correct breakpoint gets -printed. - -Test "jump" including jump to a breakpoint (the latter will need an -xfail for UDI and probably VxWorks (PR 1786 for vxworks; PR 2416 -contains some info for 29k). - -Set a watchpoint on a local variable (to be interesting, make a few -calls, to be more interesting, make a recursive call). Test that it -gets disabled when leaving that scope. - -Test calling a function, hitting a breakpoint in the called function, -calling another function, and hitting a breakpoint. Test backtrace -works in the presence of multiple dummy frames. Test that "continue" -will get you out of the inner called function, and "continue" again -will get you back to where you were when you called the first one. - -Test special longjmp handling in wait_for_inferior (need to figure out -in detail what the proper behavior in each case is). Test longjmp to -a place where there is a breakpoint (such that -BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME_SINGLE happens). In general, test -interactions between longjmp and watchpoints, breakpoints, stepping, -call function, etc. - -Test jumping right past a breakpoint (the case where wait_for_inferior -passes not_a_breakpoint to bpstat_stop_status). Might already be -tested by some of the sun3 tests. Probably want a .s test to avoid -compiler dependencies. - -Test more obscure wait_for_inferior cases, expanding on the tests in -watchpoint.exp, signals.exp, etc. - -Test "handle all nostop". Right now this is buggy--it (a) prints "?" -for "Unknown signal", (b) prints signal zero (bug or feature?), (c) -dumps core when it is done. - -Test that the copyright year in the startup message matches the -current year (would produce a single spurious FAIL on old GDB's, but -probably still a good idea). - -Test that prologue recognition, backtrace, printing locals, etc., -still work in the presence of large frames (the point being that at -some point immediate fields in RISC instructions will overflow and -prologues will need to look different. For sparc, the immediate field -is 13 bits (signed), so I believe the threshold would be 4K bytes in a -frame). - - -(this is for editing this file with GNU emacs) -Local Variables: -mode: text -End: |
