The test expect the runto_main to stop at the first line of the function.
Depending on the optimization level, gdb may stop in the prolog or after
the prolog at the first line. To ensure the test stops at the first line
of main, have it explicitly stop at a break point on the first line of the
function.
On PowerPC, the test passes when compiled with no optimization but fails
with all levels of optimization due to gdb stopping in the prolog.

As follow-up to this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-August/171385.html
... make runto_main not pass no-message to runto. This means that if we
fail to run to main, for some reason, we'll emit a FAIL. This is the
behavior we want the majority of (if not all) the time.
Without this, we rely on tests logging a failure if runto_main fails,
otherwise. They do so in a very inconsisteny mannet, sometimes using
"fail", "unsupported" or "untested". The messages also vary widly.
This patch removes all these messages as well.
Also, remove a few "fail" where we call runto (and not runto_main). by
default (without an explicit no-message argument), runto prints a
failure already. In two places, gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and
gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp, remove "message" passed to runto.
This removes a few PASSes that we don't care about (but FAILs will still
be printed if we fail to run to where we want to). This aligns their
behavior with the rest of the testsuite.

When running test-case gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp with gcc-11, I run
into:
...
KPASS: gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp: no_header: next step 1 \
(PRMS symtab/25507)
FAIL: gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp: no_header: next step 2
KPASS: gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp: no_header: next step 3 \
(PRMS symtab/25507)
...
[ Note that I get the same result with gcc-11 and target board
unix/gdb:debug_flags=-gdwarf-4, so this is not a dwarf 4 vs 5 issue. ]
With gcc-10, I have this trace:
...
64 get_alias_set (&xx);
get_alias_set (t=0x601038 <xx>) at step-and-next-inline.cc:51
51 if (t != NULL
40 if (t->x != i)
52 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 1
43 return x;
53 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 2
43 return x;
54 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 3)
43 return x;
main () at step-and-next-inline.cc:65
65 return 0;
...
and with gcc-11, I have instead:
...
64 get_alias_set (&xx);
get_alias_set (t=0x601038 <xx>) at step-and-next-inline.cc:51
51 if (t != NULL
52 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 1
43 return x;
53 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 2
43 return x;
54 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 3)
43 return x;
main () at step-and-next-inline.cc:65
65 return 0;
...
and with clang-10, I have instead:
...
64 get_alias_set (&xx);
get_alias_set (t=0x601034 <xx>) at step-and-next-inline.cc:51
51 if (t != NULL
52 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 1
53 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 2
54 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 3)
51 if (t != NULL
57 }
main () at step-and-next-inline.cc:65
65 return 0;
...
The test-case tries to verify that we don't step into inlined function
tree_check (lines 40-43) (so, with the clang trace we get that right).
The test-case then tries to kfail the problems when using gcc, but this is
done in such a way that the testing still gets out of sync after a failure.
That is: the "next step 2" check that is supposed to match
"TREE_TYPE (t).z != 2" is actually matching "TREE_TYPE (t).z != 1":
...
(gdb) next^M
52 && TREE_TYPE (t).z != 1^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp: no_header: next step 2
...
Fix this by issuing extra nexts to arrive at the required lines.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc-8, gcc-9, gcc-10, gcc-11, clang-8, clang-10

Fix a bug in the test where we were missing "additional_flags=",
causing -gstatement-frontiers not to be passed to the compiler.
The issue was introduced in
eb24648c453c28f2898fb599311ba004394a8b41 ("Fix gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp with Clang").

Clang fails to compile gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.cc, with the
following error:
clang-12: error: unknown argument: '-gstatement-frontiers'
compiler exited with status 1
This commit fixes the testcase by only passing -gstatement-frontiers
when building with GCC. This commit also alters two checks marked as
known failures, to mark them as known failures only when built using
GCC.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp: Only require
-gstatement-frontiers when building with GCC.
Only setup KFAIL's for GCC issues when using

After the is-stmt support commit:
commit 8c95582da858ac981f689a6f599acacb8c5c490f
Date: Mon Dec 30 21:04:51 2019 +0000
gdb: Add support for tracking the DWARF line table is-stmt field
A regression was observed where a breakpoint could no longer be placed
in some cases.
Consider a line table like this:
File 1: test.c
File 2: test.h
| Addr | File | Line | Stmt |
|------|------|------|------|
| 1 | 1 | 16 | Y |
| 2 | 1 | 17 | Y |
| 3 | 2 | 21 | Y |
| 4 | 2 | 22 | Y |
| 4 | 1 | 18 | N |
| 5 | 2 | 23 | N |
| 6 | 1 | 24 | Y |
| 7 | 1 | END | Y |
|------|------|------|------|
Before the is-stmt patch GDB would ignore any non-stmt lines, so GDB
built two line table structures:
File 1 File 2
------ ------
| Addr | Line | | Addr | Line |
|------|------| |------|------|
| 1 | 16 | | 3 | 21 |
| 2 | 17 | | 4 | 22 |
| 3 | END | | 6 | END |
| 6 | 24 | |------|------|
| 7 | END |
|------|------|
After the is-stmt patch GDB now records non-stmt lines, so the
generated line table structures look like this:
File 1 File 2
------ ------
| Addr | Line | Stmt | | Addr | Line | Stmt |
|------|------|------| |------|------|------|
| 1 | 16 | Y | | 3 | 21 | Y |
| 2 | 17 | Y | | 4 | 22 | Y |
| 3 | END | Y | | 4 | END | Y |
| 4 | 18 | N | | 5 | 23 | N |
| 5 | END | Y | | 6 | END | Y |
| 6 | 24 | Y | |------|------|------|
| 7 | END | Y |
|------|------|------|
The problem is that in 'File 2', end END marker at address 4 causes
the previous line table entry to be discarded, so we actually end up
with this:
File 2
------
| Addr | Line | Stmt |
|------|------|------|
| 3 | 21 | Y |
| 4 | END | Y |
| 5 | 23 | N |
| 6 | END | Y |
|------|------|------|
When a user tries to place a breakpoint in file 2 at line 22, this is
no longer possible.
The solution I propose here is that we ignore line table entries that
would trigger a change of file if:
1. The new line being added is at the same address as the previous
line, and
2. We have previously seen an is-stmt line at the current address.
The result of this is that GDB switches file, and knows that some line
entry (or entries) are going to be discarded, prefer to keep is-stmt
lines and discard non-stmt lines.
After this commit the lines tables are now:
File 1 File 2
------ ------
| Addr | Line | Stmt | | Addr | Line | Stmt |
|------|------|------| |------|------|------|
| 1 | 16 | Y | | 3 | 21 | Y |
| 2 | 17 | Y | | 4 | 22 | Y |
| 3 | END | Y | | 5 | 23 | N |
| 5 | END | Y | | 6 | END | Y |
| 6 | 24 | Y | |------|------|------|
| 7 | END | Y |
|------|------|------|
We've lost the non-stmt entry for file 1, line 18, but retained the
is-stmt entry for file 2, line 22. The user can now place a
breakpoint at that location.
One problem that came from this commit was the test
gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp, which broke in several places. After
looking at this test again I think that in some cases this test was
only ever passing by pure luck. The debug GCC is producing for this
test is pretty broken. I raised this GCC bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94474
for this and disabled one entire half of the test. There are still
some cases in here that do pass, and if/when GCC is fixed it would be
great to enable this test again.
gdb/ChangeLog:

member variable.
<m_stmt_at_address>: New member variable.
(lnp_state_machine::record_line): Don't record some lines, update

This commit brings support for the DWARF line table is_stmt field to
GDB. The is_stmt field is used by the compiler when a single source
line is split into multiple assembler instructions, especially if the
assembler instructions are interleaved with instruction from other
source lines.
The compiler will set the is_stmt flag false from some instructions
from the source lines, these instructions are not a good place to
insert a breakpoint in order to stop at the source line.
Instructions which are marked with the is_stmt flag true are a good
place to insert a breakpoint for that source line.
Currently GDB ignores all instructions for which is_stmt is false.
This is fine in a lot of cases, however, there are some cases where
this means the debug experience is not as good as it could be.
Consider stopping at a random instruction, currently this instruction
will be attributed to the last line table entry before this point for
which is_stmt was true - as these are the only line table entries that
GDB tracks. This can easily be incorrect in code with even a low
level of optimisation.
With is_stmt tracking in place, when stopping at a random instruction
we now attribute the instruction back to the real source line, even
when is_stmt is false for that instruction in the line table.
When inserting breakpoints we still select line table entries for
which is_stmt is true, so the breakpoint placing behaviour should not
change.
When stepping though code (at the line level, not the instruction
level) we will still stop at instruction where is_stmt is true, I
think this is more likely to be the desired behaviour.
Instruction stepping is, of course, unchanged, stepping one
instruction at a time, but we should now report more accurate line
table information with each instruction step.
The original motivation for this work was a patch posted by Bernd
here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-11/msg00792.html
As part of that thread it was suggested that many issues would be
resolved if GDB supported line table views, this isn't something I've
attempted in this patch, though reading the spec, it seems like this
would be a useful feature to support in GDB in the future. The spec
is here:
http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=170427.1
And Bernd gives a brief description of the benefits here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-01/msg00147.html
With that all said, I think that there is benefit to having proper
is_stmt support regardless of whether we have views support, so I
think we should consider getting this in first, and then building view
support on top of this.
The gdb.cp/step-and-next-inline.exp test is based off a test proposed
by Bernd Edlinger in this message:
