Add testing infrastruture bits for running with MI on a separate UI
With this, a specific test may can start GDB with MI on a separate UI
by using:
mi_gdb_start separate-mi-tty
In addition, it's also possible to run the whole testsuite with MI on
a separate tty, with:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="FORCE_SEPARATE_MI_TTY=1"
gdb_main_spawn_id and mi_spawn_id are added so that tests may expect
output from either channel.
While at it, inferior_spawn_id was not being cleared when gdb exits,
unlike the other spawn ids, thus a test that starts gdb more than once
would end up using a stale spawn id.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-06-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* README (Testsuite Parameters): Document FORCE_SEPARATE_MI_TTY.
* lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_exit): Clear inferior_spawn_id.
* lib/mi-support.exp (mi_uncatched_gdb_exit): Unset
gdb_main_spawn_id, mi_spawn_id, unset inferior_spawn_id.
(gdb_main_spawn_id, mi_spawn_id): Declare and
comment.
(mi_create_inferior_pty): New procedure,
factored out from default_mi_gdb_start.
(switch_gdb_spawn_id, mi_gdb_start_separate_mi_tty): New
procedures.
(default_mi_gdb_start): Call mi_gdb_start_separate_mi_tty if the
separate-mi-tty option is specified, or SEPARATE_MI_TTY is set.
Use mi_create_inferior_pty.
(mi_gdb_start): Use eval to pass down args list.
