Joel Brobecker b5916bbd42 py-inferior.exp: Make sure local var is allocated on the stack.
The testcase, at some point, is trying to change the contents
of a string that was defined as follow:

    char *str = "hello, testsuite";

The problem is that the string is constant, and str is never used
to change the contents of the string in the program, so the compiler
is free to allocate it in a read-only section.  This is what happens
on x86-windows, for instance.

As a result, trying to change the contents of the string during
the `python gdb.inferiors()[0].write_memory (addr, str)' results
in the following error:

    (gdb) python gdb.inferiors()[0].write_memory (addr, str)
    gdb: write target memory, 5 bytes at 0x00403064
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    gdb.MemoryError: Cannot access memory at address 0x403064
    Error while executing Python code.

This patch prevents this from happening by declaring str as an
array rather than a pointer.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.python/py-inferior.c (f2): Make str an array rather
        than a pointer.
        * gdb.python/py-inferior.exp: Adjust testcase accordingly.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
