I was "lucky" enough that an unrelated patch changed how many symtabs
GDB expands in a plain run to main, and that triggered a latent issue
in this test:
PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print objfiles: header
PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print objfiles: psymtabs
FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print objfiles: symtabs
The problem is in my case, expect is managing to alway put in the
buffer chunks like this:
Psymtabs:
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break1.c at 0x1ed2280, ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1ed21d0,
Symtabs:
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1f044f0, /usr/include/stdio.h at 0x1ed25a0, /usr/include/libio.h at 0x1ed2510, /usr/include/bits/types.h at 0x1ed2480, /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.2/include/stddef.h at 0x1ed23f0,
Object file /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.15.so.debug: Objfile at 0x1f4bff0, bfd at 0x1f2d940, 0 minsyms
Psymtabs:
bsearch.c at 0x1f65340, ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c at
0x1f65290, ...
Note: Psymtabs:/Symtabs:/Psymtabs:.
So, the loop matches the first Psymtabs in the buffer. Then we're
left with
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break1.c at 0x1ed2280, ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1ed21d0,
Symtabs:
../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break.c at 0x1f044f0, /usr/include/stdio.h at 0x1ed25a0, /usr/include/libio.h at 0x1ed2510, /usr/include/bits/types.h at 0x1ed2480, /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.2/include/stddef.h at 0x1ed23f0,
Object file /usr/lib/debug/lib64/ld-2.15.so.debug: Objfile at 0x1f4bff0, bfd at 0x1f2d940, 0 minsyms
Psymtabs:
bsearch.c at 0x1f65340, ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c at
0x1f65290, ...
In the next iteration, because the psymtabs regex comes first, we
match with the Psymtabs: line, then of course, end up with just
bsearch.c at 0x1f65340, ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c at
0x1f65290, ...
in the buffer. The "Symtabs:" line is lost. expect then reads more
gdb output, and manages to again retrieve the same pattern. Rinse,
repeat, and the test never matches any "Symtab:" line.
We don't know the order the matches lines will appear, so the fix is
to consume one line at a time, and run it through all three milestone
regexes.
