Pass plain-text prompt to with_gdb_prompt.
I had occasion to use with_gdb_prompt in a test for the patch for PR 17314 and was passing the plain text prompt as the value, "(top-gdb)", instead of a regexp, "\(top-gdb\)" (expressed as "\\(top-gdb\\)" in TCL). I then discovered that in order to restore the prompt gdb passes the original value of $gdb_prompt to "set prompt", which works because "set prompt \(gdb\) " is equivalent to "set prompt (gdb) ". Perhaps I'm being overly cautious but this feels a bit subtle, but at any rate as an API choice I'd much rather pass the plain text form to with_gdb_prompt. I also discovered that the initial value of gdb_prompt is set in two places to two different values. At the global level gdb.exp sets it to "\[(\]gdb\[)\]" and default_gdb_init sets it to "\\(gdb\\)". The former form is undesirable as an argument to "set prompt", but it's not clear to me that just deleting this code won't break anything. Thus I just changed the value to be consistent and added a comment. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_prompt): Add comment and change initial value to be consistent with what default_gdb_init uses. (with_gdb_prompt): Change form of PROMPT argument from a regexp to the plain text of the prompt. Add some logging printfs. * gdb.perf/disassemble.exp: Update call to with_gdb_prompt.

# a) It's more intuitive for callers to pass the plain text form.

# b) We need two forms of the prompt:
|

# - a regexp to use in output matching,

# - a value to pass to the "set prompt" command.
