Currently we get:
Running .../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/auxv.exp ...
WARNING: can't generate a core file - core tests suppressed - check ulimit -c
After this commit we get all the same PASSes as when native testing.
The problem is that the testcase wants to create a core dump in a
temporary directory and it is using the "cd" command to start the
inferior with that directory as current directory, but that command
only affects the inferior's cwd when native debugging. Fix it by
using using the new "set cwd" command instead, which works with
gdbserver as well.
This still won't work with stub-like targets, because with those when
we connect the inferior is already running. It'd be possible to make
it work by making the inferior itself change dirs, but we'll need to
make the native-gdbserver board no longer set is_remote first.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/auvx.exp (coredir): Update comment.
(top level) <core_works>: Use "set cwd" command instead of "cd"
command.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
* gdb.python/py-strfns.exp (test_strfns_core_file): Use
gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.cell/gcore.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.base/gcore.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.base/gcore-relro.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.base/gcore-buffer-overflow.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.base/auxv.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.arch/vsx-regs.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.arch/system-gcore.exp: Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* gdb.arch/pa-nullify.exp (test_core_bt): Use gdb_gcore_cmd.
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_gcore_cmd): New proc.
* gdb.base/auxv.c (func2): setrlimit to infinity to enable core dumps.
* gdb.base/auxv.exp: Try to compile it with -DUSE_RLIMIT first.
(generate native core dump): Make the test unsupported if core cannot
be generated.
