gdb, native i686-pc-linux-gnu


. Highlights of This Spin

  I added binutils 2.14.91 snapshot.  It's healthy, with no regressions
  from binutils 2.14 to binutils 2.14.91.

  I added gcc 3.4.0.  From gcc 3.3.3 to gcc 3.4.0, there are five
  regressions (three belong to gcc; two belong to gdb).

  This is the last spin for gdb 6.0.  From gdb 6.0 to gdb 6.1
  there were five regressions.

  My current tables are always at

    http://www.shout.net/~mec/sunday/current/index.html

      gdb no longer has PLT entries for shared library functions
      gdb asks if the user wants to set a pending breakpoint
      the test script shlib-call.exp needs an update
      binutils is okay

    For gcc tests, the test results are with binutils 2.14.
    The binutils version should not make a difference.

    I run each version of gdb with two test suites: the test suite that
    comes with that version of gdb and the test suite that comes with
    gdb HEAD.

  . gdb 6.0

      . gdb.cp/annota2.exp: annotate-quit
          PASS -> KFAIL
        gdb.cp/annota3.exp: annotate-quit
          PASS -> FAIL

          Fluctuation in test result probably due to a signal handling
          race in the command loop.

          blank -> PASS
          PASS -> blank

          When gdb operates on an inferior program with threads, gdb uses
          hidden breakpoints in the thread library to track events such as
          thread creation and thread destruction.

          This causes some programs to behave differently because they
          aren't prepared to handle the additional signals caused by the
          hidden breakpoints.  The test program for mi*-pthreads.exp is
          such a program.

  'target' and 'host' are gnu configuration triples.

  'osversion' is the host operating system name, which is additional
  information beyond 'host'.

  'tcl', 'expect', and 'dejagnu' are host packages to run tests.

  'suite' is the version name of the gdb test suite.

  'gdb' is a version name.

  'cc', 'as', 'ld', and 'libc' are package names.

  versions starting with a digit are official releases or snapshots.
  versions starting with a digit and ending with '-rh' are
    vendor-supplied official releases on my red hat linux host.
  versions named 'HEAD' are the cvs HEAD, also known as 'mainline' or 'trunk'.
  versions with any other name are cvs branches.

  'gformat' is the debugging information format.
  'glevel' is the debugging level.

  'count' is the total number of configurations tested.

  as/ld are always matched.

  The vendor gcc is available only with vendor as/ld.

  The vendor as/ld are tested only with vendor gcc.

  I test gdb 6.0 suite 6.0, gdb 6.1 suite 6.1, gdb gdb_6_1-branch suite
  gdb_6-1-branch, and gdb HEAD suite HEAD with the full spectrum of as
  and ld.  I test other gdb/suite configurations only with as binutils
  2.14 and ld binutils 2.14.

. Host Software

  . host=i686-pc-linux-gnu, osversion=red-hat-8.0

    make 3.79.1
    binutils 2.14
    gcc 3.3.2
    flex 2.5.4
    bison 1.875
    tcl 8.4.5
    expect 5.39
    dejagnu 1.4.4

  The sources.redhat.com cvs repository has its own versions of tcl,
  expect, and dejagnu.  I don't have the resources to test with both
  tcl/expect/dejagnu stacks, so I choose the stock stack for my test
  bed.
  
  The sources.redhat.com version of tcl is nearly identical to tcl
  8.4.1.  The sources.redhat.com version of expect dates from
  1998-06-15.  The sources.redhat.com version of dejagnu is nearly
  identical to dejagnu 1.4.3.

  I have packaged and published my scripts to manage the baseline
  software.  They are called Migchain (Michael's Gnu Toolchain) and
  Migbat (Michael's Gnu Build and Test), and they are licensed under the
  GPL.

. Test Bed Changes Since Last Report

  I added binutils 2.14.91.

  I added gcc 3.4.0.

  I dropped gdb drow-cplus-branch.  I will cover this branch again if
  there is activity on the branch.

  I enhanced the "compare by ..." tables.  Instead of "compare by gdb",
  which compares all versions of gdb, I produce several pair-wise
  tables: gdb 6.0 versus gdb 6.1; gdb 6.1 versus gdb_6_1-branch; gdb 6.1
  versus gdb HEAD; gdb HEAD versus gdb drow.* .  This makes it easier to
  extract useful information from the megabytes of raw results.

  I made similar pair-wise tables for gcc.

  I replaced the useless tables "compare by as" and "compare by ld"
  with a useful "compare by as-ld" table.

  I made some other minor improvements to the difference tables.
