testsuite: Exclude end-of-line characters from get_valueof result
The get_valueof procedure allows tests to conveniently make gdb evaluate an expression an return the value as a string. However, it includes an end-of-line character in its result. I stumbled on this when trying to use that result as part of a regex further in a test. You can see this for example by adding a puts in gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp:get_members: set members [get_valueof "" ${var} ""] puts "<$members>" The output is <{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2} > This is because the regex in get_valueof is too greedy, the captured portion matches anything up to the gdb_prompt, including the end of line characters. This patch changes it to capture everything but end of line characters. The output of the puts becomes: <{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2}> I tested this by running gdb.dwarf2/implref-array.exp and gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp, the two only current users of that procedure. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * lib/gdb.exp (get_valueof): Don't capture end-of-line characters.
