[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb][test] Add tests for repeating "memory read" command (PR #192063)

[David Spickett via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/DavidSpickett created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/192063

Tests that show the effect of #192057.

Until now repeating the command options was only tested in memory tagging tests, which I don't run often. Here I am adding tests that'll run anywhere.

Subject: [PATCH] [lldb][test] Add tests for repeating "memory read" command

Tests that show the result of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/192057.

Until now repeating the command options was only tested in
memory tagging tests, which I don't run often. Here I am adding
tests that'll run anywhere.
