From 1af4c9c4209c3478224f18dfb79dc09567b96705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 08:52:45 -0700 Subject: Disable bracketed paste mode in GDB tests I have a patch to import GNU readline 8.1 into GDB. However, when running the tests, there were a number of failures due to "bracketed paste mode". This is a terminal feature that readline 8.1 enables by default. The simplest way to work around this was to always make a ".inputrc" for GDB tests that will tell readline to disable brackted paste mode. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2021-01-23 Tom Tromey * lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_init): Set INPUTRC to a cached file. --- gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'gdb/testsuite/lib') diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp b/gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp index 3eebfa1..03653ab 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp @@ -5186,13 +5186,14 @@ proc default_gdb_init { test_file_name } { setenv LC_CTYPE C setenv LANG C - # Don't let a .inputrc file or an existing setting of INPUTRC mess up - # the test results.
