[Linaro-TCWG-CI] gdb-14-branchpoint-1426-gb960445a459: FAIL: 1 regressions on arm

[Maxim Kuvyrkov]

Hi All,

This is a false positive, obviously.  We do our best to filter out flaky tests, but in this case "gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: up 10" PASSed twice in the previous run, and then FAILed twice in the next run.  Sneaky!

Re. the FAIL, the testcase expects to be " in main .*" after "up 10", but ends up in pthread_join() instead:
===
up 10
#4  0x0001b864 in pthread_join ()
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: up 10
===
See [1] for details.

Hi Thiago,

Would you please investigate whether ending up in pthread_join() is expected/reasonable for 32-bit ARM?  In other words, whether we have a GDB bug exposed by staticthreads.exp or the testcase needs to be generalized a bit.

Thank you,
