    # TCL/EXPECT WART ALERT
    # Expect does something very strange when it receives a single braced
    # argument.  It splits it along word separators and performs substitutions.
    # This means that { "[ab]" } is evaluated as "[ab]", but { "\[ab\]" } is
    # evaluated as "\[ab\]".  But that's not how TCL normally works; inside a
    # double-quoted list item, "\[ab\]" is just a long way of representing
    # "[ab]", because the backslashes will be removed by lindex.

    # Unfortunately, there appears to be no easy way to duplicate the splitting
    # that expect will do from within TCL.  And many places make use of the
    # "\[0-9\]" construct, so we need to support that; and some places make use
    # of the "[func]" construct, so we need to support that too.  In order to
    # get this right we have to substitute quoted list elements differently
    # from braced list elements.

    # We do this roughly the same way that Expect does it.  We have to use two
    # lists, because if we leave unquoted newlines in the argument to uplevel
    # they'll be treated as command separators, and if we escape newlines
    # we mangle newlines inside of command blocks.  This assumes that the
    # input doesn't contain a pattern which contains actual embedded newlines
    # at this point!

# COMMAND is the command to execute, send to GDB with send_gdb.  If

# PATTERN is the pattern to match for a PASS, and must NOT include

# MESSAGE is an optional message to be printed.  If this is
#   omitted, then the pass/fail messages use the command string as the
#   message.  (If this is the empty string, then sometimes we don't
#   call pass or fail at all; I don't understand this at all.)
# QUESTION is a question GDB may ask in response to COMMAND, like
#   "are you sure?"
# RESPONSE is the response to send if QUESTION appears.
#
# Returns:
#    1 if the test failed,
#    0 if the test passes,
#   -1 if there was an internal error.

# There are several ways to do this, with various problems.
#
# [ gdb_compile -E $ifile -o $binfile.ci ]
# source $binfile.ci
#
#   Single Unix Spec v3 says that "-E -o ..." together are not
#   specified.  And in fact, the native compiler on hp-ux 11 (among
#   others) does not work with "-E -o ...".  Most targets used to do
#   this, and it mostly worked, because it works with gcc.
#
# [ catch "exec $compiler -E $ifile > $binfile.ci" exec_output ]
# source $binfile.ci
# 
#   This avoids the problem with -E and -o together.  This almost works
#   if the build machine is the same as the host machine, which is
#   usually true of the targets which are not gcc.  But this code does
#   not figure which compiler to call, and it always ends up using the C
#   compiler.  Not good for setting hp_aCC_compiler.  Targets
#   hppa*-*-hpux* and mips*-*-irix* used to do this.
#

#
#   dejagnu target_compile says that it supports output redirection,
#   but the code is completely different from the normal path and I
#   don't want to sweep the mines from that path.  So I didn't even try
#   this.

#
#   I actually do this for all targets now.  gdb_compile runs the right

#
#   Unfortunately, expect logs the output of the command as it goes by,
#   and dejagnu helpfully prints a second copy of it right afterwards.
#   So I turn off expect logging for a moment.

# gdb_get_line_number TEXT [FILE]
#
# Search the source file FILE, and return the line number of the
# first line containing TEXT.  If no match is found, return -1.
# 
# TEXT is a string literal, not a regular expression.
#
# The default value of FILE is "$srcdir/$subdir/$srcfile".  If FILE is
# specified, and does not start with "/", then it is assumed to be in
# "$srcdir/$subdir".  This is awkward, and can be fixed in the future,
# by changing the callers and the interface at the same time.
# In particular: gdb.base/break.exp, gdb.base/condbreak.exp,
# gdb.base/ena-dis-br.exp.
#
# Use this function to keep your test scripts independent of the
# exact line numbering of the source file.  Don't write:
# 
#   send_gdb "break 20"
# 
# This means that if anyone ever edits your test's source file, 
# your test could break.  Instead, put a comment like this on the
# source file line you want to break at:
# 
#   /* breakpoint spot: frotz.exp: test name */
# 
# and then write, in your test script (which we assume is named
# frotz.exp):
# 
#   send_gdb "break [gdb_get_line_number "frotz.exp: test name"]\n"
#
# (Yes, Tcl knows how to handle the nested quotes and brackets.
# Try this:
#       $ tclsh
#       % puts "foo [lindex "bar baz" 1]"
#       foo baz
#       % 
# Tcl is quite clever, for a little stringy language.)

#
# The previous implementation of this procedure used the gdb search command.
# This version is different:
#
#   . It works with MI, and it also works when gdb is not running.
#
#   . It operates on the build machine, not the host machine.
#
#   . For now, this implementation fakes a current directory of
#     $srcdir/$subdir to be compatible with the old implementation.
#     This will go away eventually and some callers will need to
#     be changed.
#
#   . The TEXT argument is literal text and matches literally,
#     not a regular expression as it was before.
#
#   . State changes in gdb, such as changing the current file
#     and setting $_, no longer happen.
#
# After a bit of time we can forget about the differences from the
# old implementation.
