From 0d00a5f9d429c7cbae87b9d1057fb4f9e4ae18c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom de Vries Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2023 08:33:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [gdb/testsuite] Add warning for timeout in accept_gdb_output In accept_gdb_output we have: ... timeout { # Assume a timeout means we somehow missed the # expected result, and carry on. return 0 } ... The timeout is silent, and though in some places the return value is checked, this is not done consistently, and consequently there are silent timeouts when running the TUI testsuite (gdb.tui/*.exp and gdb.python/tui*.exp). Each timeout is 10 seconds, and there are 5 in total in the TUI tests, taking 50 seconds overall: ... real 1m0.275s user 0m10.440s sys 0m1.343s ... With an entire testsuite run taking about 30 minutes, that is about 2.5% of the time spent waiting in TUI tests. Let's make the timeouts visible using a warning, such that they can be fixed. Tested on x86_64-linux. --- gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp b/gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp index 05edfe9a5b1..ff38af082da 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp @@ -707,6 +707,8 @@ namespace eval Term { timeout { # Assume a timeout means we somehow missed the # expected result, and carry on. + warning "timeout in accept_gdb_output" + dump_screen return 0 } } -- 2.30.2
