On mingw host, we have seen two fails as below,
p int1dim[0]^V@2
Invalid character '^V' in expression.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p int1dim[0]@2
p int1dim[0]^V@2^V@3
Invalid character '^V' in expression.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p int1dim[0]@2@3
In the test, the comment says "# Send \026@ instead of just @ in case
the kill character is @". Historically, kill character was @, and
Ctrl-V (\026) is to escape the next character. However, we don't have
to do so on mingw. This patch is to disable ctrl-v usage on mingw
hots. With this patch applied, it becomes:
p int1dim[0]@2
$607 = {0, 1}
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p int1dim[0]@2
p int1dim[0]@2@3
$608 = {{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}}
Note that this patch is picked from Pierre's submission,
[RFC 6/6] Fix remaining failures in gdb.base/printcmds.exp for mingw hosts.

gdb.Value.dynamic_type is supposed to work for reference and pointer
values. However, the value object in the function 'valpy_get_dynamic_type'
was being dereferenced using 'value_ind' irrespective of the value type
being TYPE_CODE_PTR or TYPE_CODE_REF. This patch fixes that to use
'coerce_ref' for TYPE_CODE_REF values.
ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (valpy_get_dynamic_type): Use coerce_ref to
dereference TYPE_CODE_REF values.

All strip operations require section headers to be present, as do most

The linker script documentation does not mention the optional comma
that may follow an output section command or an overlay command.
In some cases, where a fill expression is used, and the next
output section command begins with an operator (e.g., "/DISCARD/"),
the comma may be required to separate the two commands.
Currently, GNU ld doesn't require the comma, but gold does.

UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/setshow.exp: show history filename (~/foobar.baz)
and this error is thrown from this test below:
gdb_test "show history filename" \
"The filename in which to record the command history is \"$HOME/foobar.baz\"..*" \
"show history filename (~/foobar.baz)"
HOME is a windows path, like C:\foo\bar. When it is used in gdb_test to match
output, the error is thrown because backslash is a special character in
regular expression. This patch is to escape backslash to fix this
error by using string_to_regexp.

GCC 4.8 now adds linker plugin options by default, which conflict with the
--incremental tests in the testsuite. This patch checks whether the compiler

Check 8 and 16 bit PCREL fixes for overflow, since we bypass the
later overflow checks in write.c. Direct relocs are left alone,
as gcc has been known to take advantage of the silent overflows
when comparing addresses to constant ranges.
The problem was that gcc was generating assembler with missing unwind directives in it,
so that a gas_assert was being triggered. The patch replaces the assert with an error
message.

When a VDSO gets large enough that it doesn't entirely fit in one page,
but not so large that the part described by the program header exceeds
one page, then gdb/BFD doesn't read the section headers and symbol
table information. This patch cures that by passing the size of the
vdso to BFD, and fixes a number of other issues in the BFD code.
