[3.12] gh-109972: Enhance test_gdb (GH-110026) (GH-110351)
* gh-109972: Enhance test_gdb (GH-110026)
* Split test_pycfunction.py: add test_cfunction_full.py.
Split the function into the following 6 functions. In verbose
mode, these "pycfunction" tests now log each tested call.
* test_pycfunction_noargs()
* test_pycfunction_o()
* test_pycfunction_varargs()
* test_pycfunction_varargs_keywords()
* test_pycfunction_fastcall()
* test_pycfunction_fastcall_keywords()
* Move get_gdb_repr() to PrettyPrintTests.
* Replace DebuggerTests.get_sample_script() with SAMPLE_SCRIPT.
* Rename checkout_hook_path to CHECKOUT_HOOK_PATH.
* Rename gdb_version to GDB_VERSION_TEXT.
* Replace (gdb_major_version, gdb_minor_version) with GDB_VERSION.
* run_gdb() uses "backslashreplace" error handler instead of "replace".
* Add check_gdb() function to util.py.
* Enhance support.check_cflags_pgo(): check also for sysconfig
PGO_PROF_USE_FLAG (if available) in compiler flags.
* Move some SkipTest checks to test_gdb/__init__.py.
* Elaborate why gdb cannot be tested on Windows: gdb doesn't support
PDB debug symbol files.
(cherry picked from commit 757cbd4f29)
* gh-104736: Fix test_gdb tests on ppc64le with clang (GH-109360)
Fix test_gdb on Python built with LLVM clang 16 on Linux ppc64le (ex:
Fedora 38). Search patterns in gdb "bt" command output to detect
when gdb fails to retrieve the traceback. For example, skip a test if
"Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC" is found.
(cherry picked from commit 44d9a71ea2)
* gh-110166: Fix gdb CFunctionFullTests on ppc64le clang build (GH-110331)
CFunctionFullTests now also runs "bt" command before "py-bt-full",
similar to CFunctionTests which also runs "bt" command before
"py-bt". So test_gdb can skip the test if patterns like "?? ()" are
found in the gdb output.
