When running test-case gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp with both host and target board
local-remote-host-native.exp, we run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.tui/corefile-run.exp: load corefile
...
while this passes with USE_TUI=0.
The problem is that the TUI setup code uses "setenv TERM ansi", which has no
effect on remote host.
I can confirm this analysis by working around this problem in
local-remote-host-native.exp like this:
...
- spawn $RSH -t -l $username $remote $cmd
+ spawn $RSH -t -l $username $remote "export TERM=ansi; $cmd"
...
For now, simply make TUI unsupported for remote host, by returning 0 in
prepare_for_tui.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
# Setup ready for starting the tui, but don't actually start it.
# Returns 1 on success, 0 if TUI tests should be skipped.
proc prepare_for_tui {} {
+ if { [is_remote host] } {
+ # In clean_restart, we're using "setenv TERM ansi", which has
+ # effect on build. If we have [is_remote host] == 0, so
+ # build == host, then it also has effect on host. But for
+ # [is_remote host] == 1, it has no effect on host.
+ return 0
+ }

if {![allow_tui_tests]} {
return 0
