Indeed why not :)

Yes, it will look weird to just change the one I added though...
That's what I did anyway so that the others can be part of a cleanup patch.

:) Glad it can remove unrelated stuff from your patch

I really had not noticed that, thanks for making me notice! I must 
confess I do a lot of copy & paste when writing a test. The if {[func]} 
seems indeed the one used in all the tcl docs so I'll use that.

Unfortunately for the dprintf one mi_make_breakpoint doesn't support 
pending breakpoints, it creates something like :
bkpt={number="2",type=".*",disp=".*",enabled=".*",addr=".*",func=".*",
        file=".*/myfile.c",fullname=".*",line="3",thread-groups=\[.*\],
        times="0".*original-location=".*"}

But with pending funcs it should be pending= ...

It could be the subject of another patch to add that support.

I used mi_create_breakpoint for the other breakpoint now

That I can't since mi_gdb_test requires a command and in this case I'm 
just doing expect on that comes after mi_run_cmd, there's no command 
associated with it..

Indeed that's really my old habits dying hard... fixed sorry about that.

Thanks for the review ! , Patch v2 is coming up in a minute as a 
separate email...
