16 # In the past we would use glibc's buffered input for the mi tty.
17 # This buffering would cause problems if two commands are sent to gdb
18 # in a single write call, and, if the first command (excluding its
19 # trailing newline) exactly filled glibc's internal buffer.
21 # The solution to this problem was to stop using glibc's buffering for
22 # the mi tty.
24 # To test for this situation we send two command to gdb in a loop, the
25 # first command gets progressively bigger. We check that gdb
26 # correctly sees both commands.

86 # likely when running using the read1 technique.

89 # patterns using a ^, however, this requires us to consume and
90 # discard all lines that are not part of the output that we're
91 # looking for. However, due to the unpredictable
92 # intermingling, it's much easier if we drop the ^ anchor.
93 # However, with this gone dejagnu would sometimes match the
94 # second comand output before the first commands output.
96 # This approach just looks for the first command output, then,
97 # once that has been found, we start looking for the second
98 # command output, this seems pretty reliable.
