Improve and fix catch-syscall.exp
While fixing another bug, I found that the current
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp is kind of messy, could use some
improvements, and is not correctly testing some things.
I've made the following patch to address all the issues I found. On the
organization side, it does a cleanup and removes unecessary imports of
gdb_prompt, uses prepare_for_testing and clean_restart where needed, and
fixes some comments. The testcase was also not correctly testing
catching syscalls using only numbers, or catching many syscalls at
once. I fixed that.
The patch also uses a new method for obtaining the syscalls numbers: it
relies on the C source file to get them, via <sys/syscall.h> and SYS_*
macros. This makes the .exp file simpler because there is no need to
include target conditionals there.
I tested this on x86_64 Fedora 18.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2013-12-18 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/catch-syscall.c: Include <sys/syscall.h>.
(close_syscall, chroot_syscall, exit_group_syscall): New
variables.
* gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: Replace gdb_compile by
prepare_for_testing. Call fill_all_syscalls_numbers before
starting. Replace gdb_exit, gdb_start, gdb_reinitialize_dir and
gdb_load by clean_restart.
