// TestNexting go-builds a file, then uses a debugger (default gdb, optionally delve)
// to next through the generated executable, recording each line landed at, and
// then compares those lines with reference file(s).
// Flag -u updates the reference file(s).
// Flag -d changes the debugger to delve (and uses delve-specific reference files)
// Flag -v is ever-so-slightly verbose.
// Flag -n is for dry-run, and prints the shell and first debug commands.
//
// Because this test (combined with existing compiler deficiencies) is flaky,
// for gdb-based testing by default inlining is disabled
// (otherwise output depends on library internals)
// and for both gdb and dlv by default repeated lines in the next stream are ignored
// (because this appears to be timing-dependent in gdb, and the cleanest fix is in code common to gdb and dlv).
//
// Also by default, any source code outside of .../testdata/ is not mentioned
// in the debugging histories.  This deals both with inlined library code once
// the compiler is generating clean inline records, and also deals with
// runtime code between return from main and process exit.  This is hidden
// so that those files (in the runtime/library) can change without affecting
// this test.
//
// These choices can be reversed with -i (inlining on) and -r (repeats detected) which
// will also cause their own failures against the expected outputs.  Note that if the compiler
// and debugger were behaving properly, the inlined code and repeated lines would not appear,
// so the expected output is closer to what we hope to see, though it also encodes all our
// current bugs.
//
// The file being tested may contain comments of the form
// //DBG-TAG=(v1,v2,v3)
// where DBG = {gdb,dlv} and TAG={dbg,opt}
// each variable may optionally be followed by a / and one or more of S,A,N,O
// to indicate normalization of Strings, (hex) addresses, and numbers.
// "O" is an explicit indication that we expect it to be optimized out.
// For example:
/*

*/
// TODO: not implemented for Delve yet, but this is the plan
//
// After a compiler change that causes a difference in the debug behavior, check
// to see if it is sensible or not, and if it is, update the reference files with
// go test debug_test.go -args -u
// (for Delve)
