Hi Pedro,

Thanks for your review.

OK.  I add this change to doc patch.

Fixed.

This part is really odd.
In my part, without "sleep 1" will random get fail with "Set dprintf
style to agent ".
The reason of fail is test try to check the output before it call
send_gdb "set dprintf-style agent\n".
This is why I add a "sleep 1" for it.

But looks it still not OK in your part, so I change it to:
mi_gdb_test "pwd" ".*"

If it is still not OK in your part, I suggest remove this part of test
because it is not very important for this test.   The "set
dprintf-style agent" is tested in "dprintf.exp".

Thanks,

2013-04-12  Hui Zhu  <hui@codesourcery.com>

* breakpoint.c (dprintf_breakpoint_ops): Remove its static.
* breakpoint.h (dprintf_breakpoint_ops): Add extern.
* mi/mi-cmd-break.c (mi_cmd_break_insert): Handle the "-s" option.

2013-04-12  Hui Zhu  <hui@codesourcery.com>

* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Breakpoint Commands): Describe the "-s" option.

2013-04-12  Hui Zhu  <hui@codesourcery.com>

* gdb.mi/Makefile.in (PROGS): Add "mi-dprintf".
* gdb.mi/mi-dprintf.exp, gdb.mi/mi-dprintf.c: New.
