  Hi,

since you mentioned extending gdb_test_multiple functionality using new
pattern flags, I've rewritten the gdb_test_multiple part of this (
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00221.html ) patch into
a patch that adds a '-early' pattern flag (which results in less
intrusive code changes than the previous attempt).

WDYT?

Thanks,
- Tom

Patch

[gdb/testsuite] Add -early pattern flag for gdb_test_multiple

Proc gdb_test_multiple builds up and executes a gdb_expect expression with
pattern/action clauses.  The clauses are either implicit (added by
gdb_test_multiple) or explicit (passed via the gdb_test_multiple parameter
user_code).

However, there are a few implicit clauses which are inserted before the
explicit ones, making sure those take precedence.

Add an -early pattern flag for a gdb_test_multiple user_code clause to specify
that the clause needs to be inserted before any implicit clause.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

2019-09-12  Tom de Vries  <tdevries@suse.de>

	* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Handle -early pattern flag.
