With test-case gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp and make target check-read1, I run
into:
...
FAIL: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: run until the end
...
In more detail, using -v:
...
PASS: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: load corefile
^M+++ _ctl_0x0d
^[[17d+++ _csi_d <<<17>>>
^[[M+++ _csi_M <<<>>>

FAIL: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: run until the end
...
With some debugging code added in wait_for, what happens becomes more clear:
...
if {[regexp -- $wait_for $prev]} {
+ verbose -log "\nwait_for: MATCHED line ($_cur_y): \"$prev\""
+ verbose -log "wait_for: AGAINST regexp: \"$wait_for\""
...
In corefile-run.exp, we execute:
...
Term::command "run"
...
and in proc Term::command, we send the command, and then call wait_for:
...
proc command {cmd} {
send_gdb "$cmd\n"
wait_for [string_to_regexp $cmd]
}
...
which first waits for the command string, and then for the prompt.
In this case however, the matching of the command string triggers on a
previous line:
...
wait_for: MATCHED line (16): \
"(gdb) core-file corefile-run.core[New LWP 6426] <lots-of-spaces>"
wait_for: AGAINST regexp: "run"
...
and from there on things go out of sync, eventually resulting in the FAIL.
Fix this in proc command by more precisely specifying the expected pattern:
adding a ^$gdb_prompt prefix.
Add a command_no_prompt_prefix variant to use for initial terminal commands
where there's no prompt yet.
Tested gdb.tui/*.exp on x86_64-linux, with make target check and check-read1.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-03-13 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* lib/tuiterm.exp (Term::command_no_prompt_prefix): New proc.
(Term::command): Use prompt prefix.
(Term::enter_tui): Use command_no_prompt_prefix instead of prefix.
* gdb.tui/tui-layout-asm-short-prog.exp: Use
command_no_prompt_prefix instead of prefix.
* gdb.tui/tui-layout-asm.exp: Same.
