I don't remember why I added separate functions, though it might have
had something to do with uniqueness.  I don't see much value in it
now, so I added a loop in main() instead.

I've done this too.

Thanks again for the review.

This is what I've pushed...

commit 1a2f3d7ff1d79b1290704e48c71e905b987393a6

    Extend test gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.exp
    
    This patch modifies the unwinder (sniffer) defined in
    py-recurse-unwind.py so that, depending upon the value of one of its
    class variables, it will take different paths through the code,
    testing different functionality.
    
    The original test attempted to obtain the value of an undefined
    symbol.
    
    This somewhat expanded test checks to see if 'pc' can be read via
    gdb.PendingFrame.read_register() and also via gdb.parse_and_eval().
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
    	* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.c (main): Add loop.
    	* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.py (TestUnwinder): Add calls
    	to read_register() and gdb.parse_and_eval().  Make each code
    	call a separate case that can be individually tested.
    	* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.exp (cont_and_backtrace): New
    	proc. Call cont_and_backtrace for each of the code paths that
    	we want to test in the unwinder.
