- Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Introduce procedure use_gdb_stub
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
This patch introduces the use_gdb_stub procedure, which allows getting
the right value of the use_gdb_stub variable/property in any all
situations.
When calling it before the $use_gdb_stub global variable has been set,
it will return the value of the use_gdb_stub property from the board
file. This happens when tests want to bail out early (even before gdb
has been started) when the current test setup is a stub.
Otherwise, it returns the value of the $use_gdb_stub global.
It's possible for these two to differ when a test file overrides the
value of the global.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (use_gdb_stub): New procedure.
