- Subject: [PATCH] testsuite: Record all gdb input to gdb.in
When debugging testsuite failures, it can be awkward parsing gdb.log to
obtain all the commands run in order to manually re-run the test.
This patch adds the functionality to save all gdb commands to the file gdb.in
when the testsuite is run. The file is saved in the directory for the test and
if gdb is restarted then .1, .2, .3 etc is added to the filename.
Once a test has been run, the .in file can be used to re-run the test in the
following way:
gdb -x outputs/gdb.store/gdb.in outputs/gdb.store/store
Note, this functionality is ALWAYS on when running a test. I considered this
would be more useful than making it optional.
The code works by intercepting send_gdb. I've added a TYPE to ensure that any
commands that would destroy the playback are kept from the log (for example the
Y from an answer to a y/n question).
I've re-run a random selection of .in files to check they do not error. Logs with
commands such as "attach <pid>" will not directly work when re-run.
