  The following test is found in python/py-linetable.exp:

gdb_test "python print sorted(fset)" \
    "\[20L, 21L, 22L, 24L, 25L, 28L, 29L, 30L, 32L, 33L, 37L, 39L, 40L, 42L, 44L, 45L, 46L\].*" \
    "Test frozen set contains line numbers"

I noticed that it passed when using Python 3, even though it should fail
because of the missing parentheses for the call print.

There needs to be more escaping of the square brackets. Currently, it is
interpreted as "any one character from this big list of characters,
followed by .*". When adding the required amount of backslashes, the
test starts failing as it should.

Moreover, both in Python 2.7 and Python 3.3 the numbers don't have the L
suffix, so now the test fails because of that. Anybody knows why they
were there in the first place? I just tested with Python 2.4 and there
are no Ls.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.python/py-linetable.exp: Properly escape sorted(fset)
	test expected output. Add parentheses for the call to print.
	Remove L suffix from integers.

Hi Simon,

This fix makes sense to me.  Escaping brackets are always a source of
confusion in TCL.  Thanks for doing that.

Yeah, I don't know.  My wild guess it that it was a thinko because of
the test just above it:

gdb_test "python list_lines()" \
    "L20 A $hex.*L21 A $hex.*L22 A $hex.*L24 A $hex.*L25 A $hex.*L40 A $hex.*L42 A $hex.*L44 A $hex.*L42 A $hex.*L46 A $hex.*" \
    "test linetable iterator addr"

Phil?

Two spaces after periods.

Other than that, LGTM (not an approval).

Cheers,

Thanks, Sergio, for your review.

I agree that the escaping is OK.

Regarding the issue of the extra 'L' at the end, I think I understand
what happened: The initial patch was using PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong
to create the line number which, as it name indicates, returns a
Python Long, hence the 'L'. but then, probably prompted by review,
Phil changed it to use gdb_py_object_from_longest which only uses
a long if the value does not fit in an 'int'. But because of the missing
escaping, the change in output was never noticed, and so the test
never got adjusted.

The patch is approved after applying Sergio's comments.

Thanks!
