With test-case gdb.fortran/huge.exp, on a system without fortran compiler, I ran into a number of duplicates: ... Running /home/vries/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/huge.exp ... gdb compile failed, default_target_compile: Can't find gfortran. UNTESTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: huge.exp ... gdb compile failed, default_target_compile: Can't find gfortran. UNTESTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: huge.exp DUPLICATE: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: huge.exp UNSUPPORTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: require failed: expr $compilation_succeeded ... Fix this by wrapping the compile in a with_test_prefix, getting us instead: ... gdb compile failed, default_target_compile: Can't find gfortran. UNTESTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: CRASH_GDB=2097152: huge.exp ... gdb compile failed, default_target_compile: Can't find gfortran. UNTESTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: CRASH_GDB=16: huge.exp UNSUPPORTED: gdb.fortran/huge.exp: require failed: expr $compilation_succeeded ... Tested on x86_64-linux.
