- Subject: [PATCH] PPC sim: Don't close file descriptors 0, 1, or 2
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
In my testing, this patch eliminates all of the "unresolved testcases"
when testing GDB against the powerpc simulator.
E.g. for gdb.base.exp, I see this in the log file:
(gdb) next
66 return (value); /* set breakpoint 19 here */
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: next over recursive call
backtrace
#0 factorial (value=120) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:66
#1 0x10000428 in factorial (value=6) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:64
#2 0x10000370 in main (argc=1, argv=0xdfffee20, envp=0xdfffee28) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:47
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: backtrace from factorial(5.1)
continue
Continuing.

ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/break.exp: continue until exit at recursive next test
With this patch/change in place, this bit of the test runs as expected:
(gdb) next
66 return (value); /* set breakpoint 19 here */
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: next over recursive call
backtrace
#0 factorial (value=120) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:66
#1 0x10000428 in factorial (value=6) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:64
#2 0x10000370 in main (argc=1, argv=0xdfffee20, envp=0xdfffee28) at testsuite/gdb.base/break.c:47
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: backtrace from factorial(5.1)
continue
Continuing.

This occurs because the powerpc simulator closes, on behalf of the
testcase, the file descriptors associated with stdin, stdout, and
stderr. GDB still needs these descriptors to communicate with the
user or, in this case, with the testing framework.

* emul_netbsd.c (do_close): Don't close file descriptors 0, 1,
or 2.
