Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Cleanup some docs about memory write
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428522979-28709-3-git-send-email-simon.marchi@ericsson.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1428522979-28709-1-git-send-email-simon.marchi@ericsson.com>

Some docs seemed outdated. In the case of target_write_memory, the docs
in target.c and target/target.h diverged a bit, so I tried to find a
reasonnable in-between version.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* corefile.c (write_memory): Update doc.
	* gdbcore.h (write_memory): Same.
	* target.c (target_write_memory): Same.
	* target/target.h (target_write_memory): Same.
