I'm testing a new GDB port (arc-linux-uclibc-gdb), using gdbserver.
Since this is running tests remotely, I need to ensure that sysroot is
set in the client GDB. Looking at the documentation, I thought I could
do this with:
set_board_info gdb_opts "-x $env(ARC_GDB_COMMFILE)"
where the referred to command file contains:
set sysroot /opt/arc-4.4-gdb-7.5/arc-linux-uclibc
However, when I run the tests, the option is not added to the GDB
command line. When I look at gdb.exp, I see it uses:
[host_info gdb_opts]
to access the value, rather than
[target_info gdb_opts]
Since, set_board_info associates the value with the target board, not
the host, the value of gdb_opts is not detected. So instead I have to
use:
set board_info([get_local_hostname],gdb_opts) "-x
$env(ARC_GDB_COMMFILE)"
Is this what was intended (it is not documented)? I think the reference
in gdb.exp should use [target_info].
Best wishes,
Jeremy
