# Apparently, there's simply no way to ask GDB to exit with a non-zero # status when the script run with the --eval-command option fails. Thus, if # we have --eval-command run prologue.py directly, syntax errors there will # lead GDB to exit with no indication anything went wrong. # # To avert that, we use this very small launcher script to run prologue.py # and catch errors. # # Remember, errors in this file will cause spurious passes, so keep this as # simple as possible! import os import sys import traceback try: # testlibdir is set on the GDB command line, via: # --eval-command python testlibdir=... exec(open(os.path.join(testlibdir, 'prologue.py')).read()) except Exception as err: sys.stderr.write('Error running GDB prologue:\n') traceback.print_exc() sys.exit(1)
