-# Test expanding partial symtabs when needed.
+# It's possible to have a program that contains two compilation units
+# for the same source file name, that have code at different lines.
+# For example, in this test, we compile expand-psymtabs.c twice with
+# different preprocessor symbols #defined; the first .o only has
+# 'main' at some earlier source lines, while the second .o only has
+# 'foo' at later source lines. So when setting breakpoints by line
+# number, which full symtab we need dependings on the line number in
+# question.
+#
+# This test is meant to verify that, even with lazy partial symtab
+# reading in effect, GDB can set breakpoints by line number
+# successfully in either compilation unit.
