I like to write code more than I like to speculate about how I will write
it. My favorite sort of discussion about code includes exchanges of "like
this? [and some code that might work]", "no, different because of foo and
bar", "ok, so like this? [and some different code that might work]", and so
on. Let's have a discussion like that!
I developed one of the alternatives being discussed to flesh out the issues
with doing it that way. In the process, I noticed that part of it was
independently useful (fixing a missing part of gcore functionality). I
posted this patch to demonstrate the utility of this alternative for the
purpose we are discussing, and the bonus feature that my patch as posted
fixes an existing, separate shortcoming of gdb. Now discuss!
