Indeed it could.  I've done that now.  See below.  There were actually more
places around the testsuite that have that same code.  Let me know how it looks
to you.

No idea, though I'd guess that there's really no good reason.

[PATCH 1/2] testsuite: refactor spawn and wait for attach

Several places in the testsuite have a copy of a snippet of code that
spawns a test program, waits a bit, and then does some PID munging for
Cygwin.  This is in order to have GDB attach to the spawned program.

This refactors all that to a common procedure.

(multi-attach.exp wants to spawn multiple processes, so this makes the
new procedure's interface work with lists.)

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2014-09-08  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* lib/gdb.exp (spawn_wait_for_attach): New procedure.
	* gdb.base/attach.exp (do_attach_tests, do_call_attach_tests)
	(do_command_attach_tests): Use spawn_wait_for_attach.
	* gdb.base/solib-overlap.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.multi/multi-attach.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.python/py-prompt.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.python/py-sync-interp.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.server/ext-attach.exp: Likewise.

As long as it has been tested on *-*-cygwin* I do not see anything wrong
there.


Thanks,

It hasn't.  I wonder if someone can help with this?

FYI, Keith was kind enough to run testing and sent me the logs,
though I haven't analyzed them yet.

Thanks,
