- Subject: [RFC] Add call to gdb_exit prior to gdb_start in gdb.cp/ref-params.exp
I've been testing a mep-elf toolchain using the SID simulator. I found
it necessary to add the call to gdb_exit as indicated in the patch below.
Without this patch, I get 3 passes and 16 unresolved testcases. With the
patch, I see 14 passes (and no failures or unresolved testcases).
I took a look at invcations of gdb_start in other tests and found
that it is customary to invoke gdb_exit prior to gdb_start. (It is
not _always_ done, but nearly so.) Thus it seems to me that the
missing call to gdb_exit in ref-params.exp is merely an oversight.
Comments?
* gdb.cp/ref-params.exp (gdb_start_again): Invoke `gdb_exit'
prior to `gdb_start'.
