Add test that exercises all bfd architecture, osabi, endian, etc. combinations
This adds a test that exposes several problems fixed by earlier patches: #1 - Buffer overrun when host/target formats match, but sizes don't. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00125.html #2 - Missing handling for FR-V FR300. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00117.html #3 - BFD architectures with spaces in their names (v850). https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00108.html #4 - The OS ABI names with spaces issue. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00116.html #5 - Bogus HP/PA long double format. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00122.html #6 - Cris big endian internal error. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00126.html #7 - Several PowerPC bfd archs/machines not handled by gdb. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19797 And hopefully helps catch others in the future. This started out as a test that simply did, gdb -ex "print 1.0L" to exercise #1 above. Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program. Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed above... With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around 25 seconds, with make -j8. To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us extending the common bits to support it for all testcases. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-12-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/all-architectures-0.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-1.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-2.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-3.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-4.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-5.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-6.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-7.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures.exp.in: New file.
