I'm seeing some FAILs with the testsuite because of different ways to
expanding srcdir between the testsuite and gdb.
for example, in gdb.mi/mi-basics.exp,
set envirodir [string_to_regexp ${srcdir}/${subdir}]
mi_gdb_test "202-environment-directory ${srcdir}/${subdir}" \
"\\\^done,source-path=\"${envirodir}.\\\$cdir.\\\$cwd\"" \
"environment-directory arg operation"
envirodir expands to "\.\./\.\./\.\./gdb-cvs/gdb/testsuite/gdb\.mi.\$cdir.\$cwd"
what gdb actually prints is:
^done,source-path="/home/tausq/gdb/build-cvs/gdb/testsuite/../../../gdb-cvs/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi:$cdir:$cwd"
(i am running the test from /home/tausq/gdb/build-cvs/gdb/testsuite)
what is the best way to fix this? we can of course loosen the match to
".*${envirodir}", but that seems rather suboptimal.
thoughts?
