Hi Gary and Chris,
I am resending the previous email since the table in that email got corrupted.
Below is what output jdb prints when a breakpoint is hit depending on what
suspended policy is used:
The current behavior.
SUSPEND_ALL: Prompt is printed ( e.g. "main[1]"), location is printed
SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD: Prompt is not printed, location is not printed
SUSPEND_NONE: Prompt is not printed, location is not printed
The fix changes this behavior as the following:
SUSPEND_ALL: Prompt is printed ( e.g. "main[1]"), location is printed
SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD: Prompt is printed ( "> "), location is printed
SUSPEND_NONE: Prompt is printed ( "> "), location is printed
Could you please say is it OK for you or you want that the location was printed
only for SUSPEND_ALL case? Or probably just leave all behavior unchanged and
close the bug as "not an issue"?
Regarding settable prompt... As I understand Gary's original concern was that
waiting in tests for a simple prompt " > " (> ) could be unreliable if
this substring somehow appears in the output of the test program and the
suggestion was to use more specific patterns for the cases when the full prompt
(thread_name[frame_index]) is not printed ( e.g. when the current thread is
not set). However, we need somehow pass this pattern to Jdb.command(JdbCommand)
method otherwise it would keep waiting for the full prompt and fail with the
timeout. Probably I am missing something here...
Thanks!

Hi Gary and Chris,
Below is the table that shows what jdb output is printed when a breakpoint
is hit depending on what suspended policy is used:
SUSPEND POLICY | PROMPT PRINTED | LOCATION PRINTED
---------------------------------------
|---------------------------|--------------------------
SUSPEND_ALL. | yes, e.g. "main[1]" |
yes
--------------------------------------- |--------------------------
|--------------------------
SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD | no | no
----------------------------------------|------------------------
--|--------------------------
SUSPEND_ALL. | no |
no
The fix changes this behavior as the following:
SUSPEND POLICY | PROMPT PRINTED. | LOCATION PRINTED
---------------------------------------
|----------------------------|--------------------------
SUSPEND_ALL. | yes , e.g. "main[1]" |
yes
---------------------------------------
|----------------------------|--------------------------
SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD | yes , ">" | yes
----------------------------------------|---------------------------
|--------------------------
SUSPEND_ALL. | yes, ">". |
yes
Could you please say is it OK for you or you want that the location was
printed only for SUSPEND_ALL case? Or probably just leave all behavior

It's not clear to me if the omitted location information for the non
stopping
cases was intentional or not. It may be sufficient to know that the
event fired
without the extra information.
I don't think a settable prompt is required either. There are plenty of
jdb commands that
could be used with the wait for message in tests that need to
synchronize at a specific
point in the test sequence.
I don't think we see wait for simple prompt in any of the tests,
because it
is not reliable enough.

printed in the debugger output. What we do in this fix we just add more
information about what exact breakpoint is hit. Do you suggest we should not
print this line at all if suspend policy is SUSPEND_NONE? If so then it is not
clear what is the use of the command "stop go ..." would be. Regarding waiting
for the simple prompt, we could change JDbCommand to have a field to store a
prompt pattern and use this pattern (if it was set) when waiting for command to
complete. In tests when required we would set the pattern in JdbCommand to more
complicated one matching a specific output we are expecting at this particular
step. Do you think it would be a better approach?
