Test failure in mi-cli.exp


I observed the following when running the gdb testsuite on our
(proprietary) target:

888-interpreter-exec console "set $pc=0x0"
~"Current language:  auto; currently asm\n"
888^done
(gdb)
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-cli.exp: -interpreter-exec console "set $pc=0x0"

The problem is that setting $pc to 0 puts us in an asm file causing the
~"Current language:" message which doesn't match the regex. The same
failure occurs in mi2-cli.exp. Since setting the pc is quite likely to
cause messages of this type on various targets may I propose changing
the test to something like:

mi_gdb_test "888-interpreter-exec console \"set \$pc=0x0\"" \
  {.*888\^done} \
  "-interpreter-exec console \"set \$pc=0x0\""

(Note the .* before 888\^done)

An alternative would be to set something other than the pc.

This has caused problems in the past:
