Description Rainer Orth 2020-06-25 08:18:51 UTC 
While testing current master on Linux/sparc64, the gdb.base/testenv.exp would
loop:

PASS: gdb.base/testenv.exp: test_inherit_env_var: test1: test passing TEST_GDB_G
LOBAL to GDB
FAIL: gdb.base/testenv.exp: test_inherit_env_var: test1: TEST_GDB_GLOBAL, get nu
m vars
FAIL: gdb.base/testenv.exp: test_inherit_env_var: test1: TEST_GDB_GLOBAL, confir
med
FAIL: gdb.base/testenv.exp: test_inherit_env_var: test1: printf "var: %s\n", env
p[0] ? envp[0] : ""
[...]
FAIL: gdb.base/testenv.exp: test_inherit_env_var: test1: printf "var: %s\n", envp[4443985] ? envp[4443985] : ""

which I only noticed after those 4.4+ million iterations.

The failure mode is like this:
(gdb) run 
Starting program: /home/ro/obj/gdb/master/dist/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/testenv/testenv 
Program found 0 variables starting with TEST_GDB

Comment 1 John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 2020-11-23 17:39:08 UTC 
Thanks for catching this. This would explain why the gdb testsuite with version 10 never finishes.

I guess we should disable this particular test for the time being.

i can't reproduce on current gdb-10-branch :
