From 14e9c72c334205c0171d62e716c1fb65472a0eab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom de Vries Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:37:15 +0100 Subject: [gdb/testsuite] Avoid breakpoint in GLIBC in gdb.threads/execl.exp When running the gdb.threads/execl.exp test-case, we run into this FAIL: ... (gdb) continue^M Continuing.^M ^M Thread 1 "execl" hit Breakpoint 2, __GI_execl (path=0x6024a0 \ "build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/execl/execl1", \ arg=) at execl.c:51^M 51 if (execl (new_image, new_image, NULL) == -1) \ /* set breakpoint here */^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/execl.exp: continue across exec ... The fail is due to the continue command hitting a breakpoint in __GI_execl rather than main. This problem originates from where we execute the "b 51" command, and get two breakpoint locations: ... (gdb) run ^M Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/execl/execl ^M [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]^M Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".^M ^M Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd3f8) at gdb.threads/execl.c:44^M 44 pthread_create (&thread1, NULL, thread_function, NULL);^M (gdb) b 51^M Breakpoint 2 at 0x400787: gdb.threads/execl.c:51. (2 locations)^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/execl.exp: set breakpoint at execl ... Adding a "info breakpoints" command, we can see the locations: ... (gdb) info breakpoints^M Num Type Disp Enb Address What^M 1 breakpoint keep y 0x00000000004006ee in main at \ gdb.threads/execl.c:44^M breakpoint already hit 1 time^M 2 breakpoint keep y ^M 2.1 y 0x0000000000400787 in main at \ gdb.threads/execl.c:51^M 2.2 y 0x00007ffff758d925 in __GI_execl at \ execl.c:51^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/execl.exp: info breakpoints ... The fact that the __GI_execl breakpoint location is there, is a bug, filed as PR25656. Without debug info for GLIBC though, the bug is not triggered. Fix the FAIL by working around the bug, and deleting the breakpoint after hitting the first breakpoint location.
