[PATCH v2 25/29] Testcases for stepping over thread exit syscall (PR gdb/27338)

Pedro Alves pedro@palves.net
Wed Jul 13 22:24:29 GMT 2022


From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

- New in this series version:

 - gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit.exp has a couple new testing axes:

   - non-stop vs all-stop.

   - in non-stop have the testcase explicitly stop all threads in
     non-stop mode, vs not doing that.

 - bail out of gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit.exp early on FAIL, to
   avoid cascading timeouts.

Add new gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit.exp and
gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit-while-stop-all-threads.exp
testcases, exercising stepping over thread exit syscall.  These make
use of lib/my-syscalls.S to define the exit syscall.
