The test-case gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp runs fine by itself:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp ...
=== gdb Summary ===
nr of expected passes 3
...
But if we run f.i. gdb.server/file-transfer.exp before it, we get instead:
...
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp ...
ERROR: GDB process no longer exists
=== gdb Summary ===
nr of expected passes 13
nr of unresolved testcases 1
...
We can see the origin of the problem here:
...
spawn gdbserver --once localhost:2347 \
build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/file-transfer/file-transfer \
build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/server-kill-python/server-kill-python^M
Process build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/file-transfer/file-transfer
\ created; pid = 9464^M
Listening on port 2347^M
...
The spawn of the gdbserver for the server-kill-python test-case gets as
executable argument the file-transfer binary.
This is caused by proc gdbserver_spawn attempting to load the exec file in
$file_last_loaded. This is something that is meant to load the same exec in
the gdbserver that was earlier loaded into gdb.
In this test-case however, nothing has been loaded into gdb by the test-case,
and consequently we load the file that was loaded into gdb in the previous
test-case.
Fix this by unsetting $file_last_loaded in gdb_init.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.
