Re: [rfa:ppc64] Use target in convert_from_func_ptr_addr


I'm trying to understand where you're going with these changes.

See my most recent posts to gdb@, along with the archives. There is a long standing and oft repeated goal of cleaning up the target stack. In part making it more OO.


Will a GDB user see enhanced functionality as a
result?

I guess so. At present FSF's GDB when debugging shared libraries on GNU/Linux does this:


(top-gdb) run
Starting program: /home/cagney/PENDING/YYYY-MM-DD-target-convert-func/64/gdb/gdb
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint -1.
Error accessing memory address 0x7fdffec35c: Input/output error.
