- Subject: [PATCH] Fix GDBHISTSIZE test failure on i686
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
The test
test_histsize_history_setting "99999999999999999999999999999999999" "unlimited"
was failing on i686 because the condition in init_history() for
determining whether to map a large GDBHISTSIZE value to infinity was
long var = strtol (tmpenv);
if (var > INT_MAX)
history_size = unlimited;
but this condition is never true on i686 because INT_MAX == LONG_MAX.
So in order to properly map large out-of-range values of GDBHISTSIZE to
infinity on targets where LONG_MAX > INT_MAX as well as on i686, we have
to instead change the above condition to
if (var > INT_MAX
|| (var == INT_MAX && errno == ERANGE))
history_size = unlimited;
[ I did not test this patch on i686 because I don't have access to
such a machine. But the patch seems straightforward enough... ]
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c (init_history): Look at the errno set by strtol to
properly map large GDBHISTSIZE values to infinity.
