What about platforms without hardware watchpoints?  This test will
generate a lot of FAILs in that case.


I mentioned this both in my original posting and in the test case itself. There is a test for hardware watchpoints and if there are no hardware watchpoints, it returns 0.


# This test verifies that a watchpoint is detected in the proper thread
# so the test is only meaningful on a system with hardware watchpoints.
if [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints] {
    return 0;
}

Not to mention targets with only one hardware watchpoint; I'm not sure
if there are any.


Don't know of any myself, but I will be happy to add tests for such platforms if somebody points them out.
