With test-case gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp and host board
local-remote-host-notty, I run into:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: interact with GDB's main UI
Executing on target: kill -9 29666 (timeout = 300)
builtin_spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -9 29666^M
echo^M
Remote connection closed^M
(gdb) (gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: \
main UI, prompt after gdbserver dies (timeout)
...
In contrast, with local-remote-host (so, everything the same but editing off):
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: interact with GDB's main UI
Executing on target: kill -9 31245 (timeout = 300)
builtin_spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -9 31245^M
Remote connection closed^M
(gdb) echo^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp: main UI, prompt after gdbserver dies
...
The test-case issues a kill, which results in a "Remote connection closed"
message and a prompt.
The problem is that the prompt is not consumed, so the subsequent echo may be
issued before that prompt, which causes a mismatch when matching the result
of the echo.
Fix this by consuming the "Remote connection closed" message and prompt.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
# The point is that we should be able to interact with GDB from either
# interpreter now.
