There is the following test in commands.exp:

    send_gdb "define mycommand\n"
      ...
    gdb_test "while \$arg0 > 0\nset \$arg0 -= 1\nif \(\$arg0 % 2\) ==
1\np/x 0xdeadbeef\nelse\np/x 0xfeedface\nend\nend\nend" \
      ...
    gdb_test "mycommand \$foo" \
      ...
    gdb_test "show user mycommand" \
	   "while.*set.*if.*p/x.*else.*p/x.*end.*" \
	   "display user command in user_defined_command_test"

Obviously, I've cut out several lines from the actual test. But if you
look at the last call to gdb_test you see that it simply checks to see
that the macro keywords appear in the output. The test doesn't look for
proper "whitespace". This test also would not detect our current problem
where the keywords are printed twice.

At this time I know nearly nothing about expect scripts. I don't mind
learning about them. To help me along does anyone want to offer a
suggestion about testing for "whitespace" and extra keyword output in
this test?
