[gdb/testsuite] Speed up MACRO_AT_* calls
Currently, for each MACRO_AT_range or MACRO_AT_func in dwarf assembly the
following is done:
- $srcdir/$subdir/$srcfile is compiled to an executable using
flags "debug"
- a new gdb instance is started
- the new executable is loaded.
This is inefficient, because the executable is identical within the same
Dwarf::assemble call.
Share the gdb instance in the same Dwarf::assemble invocation, which speeds
up a make check with RUNTESTFLAGS like this to catch all dwarf assembly
test-cases:
...
rtf=$(echo $(cd src/gdb/testsuite; find gdb.* -type f -name "*.exp" \
| xargs grep -l Dwarf::assemble))
...
