Sergio Durigan Junior a594760181 Add test for global variable that is nested by another DSO
This is just a testcase addition that I am proposing for upstream GDB.
We have this in our internal tree, and the related RH bug is:

  <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809179>

This bug is about a global variable that got incorrectly displayed by
GDB.  This bug has already been fixed a long time ago by Joel's
commit:

  commit 19630284f5
  Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@gnat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 5 13:50:50 2012 +0000

But I think a testcase for it wouldn't hurt.

So, consider the following scenario:

  $ cat solib1.c
  int test;
  void c_main (void)
  {
    test = 42;
  }

  $ cat solib2.c
  int test;
  void b_main (void)
  {
    test = 42;
  }

  $ cat main.c
  int main (int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    c_main ();
    b_main ();
    return 0;
  }

  $ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO1.so -c solib1.c
  $ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO2.so -c solib2.c
  $ gcc -g -o main -L$PWD -lSO1 -lSO2 main.c
  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
  ...
  $1 = 0

This happened with GDB before Joel's commit above.  Now, things work
and GDB is able to correctly display the nested global variable:

  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
  ...
  $1 = 42

The testcase attached tests this behavior.
