gdb: allow specifying multiple filters when running selftests
I found myself wanting to run a few specific selftests while developing. I thought it would be nice to be able to provide multiple test names when running `maintenant selftests`. The arguments to that command is currently interpreted as a single filter (not split by spaces), it now becomes a list a filters, split by spaces. A test is executed when it matches at least one filter. Here's an example of the result in GDB: (gdb) maintenance selftest xml Running selftest xml_escape_text. Running selftest xml_escape_text_append. Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed (gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord Running selftest unordered_remove. Running selftest xml_escape_text. Running selftest xml_escape_text_append. Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed (gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord foobar Running selftest unordered_remove. Running selftest xml_escape_text. Running selftest xml_escape_text_append. Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed Since the selftest machinery is also shared with gdbserver, I also adapted gdbserver. It accepts a `--selftest` switch, which accepts an optional filter argument. I made it so you can now pass `--selftest` multiple time to add filters. It's not so useful right now though: there's only a single selftest right now in GDB and it's for an architecture I can't compile. So I tested by adding dummy tests, here's an example of the result: $ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo Running selftest foo. foo Running selftest foobar. foobar Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed $ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo --selftest=bar Running selftest bar. bar Running selftest foo. foo Running selftest foobar. foobar Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * selftest.h (run_tests): Change parameter to array_view. * selftest.c (run_tests): Change parameter to array_view and use it. gdb/ChangeLog: * maint.c (maintenance_selftest): Split args and pass array_view to run_tests. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * server.cc (captured_main): Accept multiple `--selftest=` options. Pass all `--selftest=` arguments to run_tests. Change-Id: I422bd49f08ea8095ae174c5d66a2dd502a59613a
