Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] gdb: Remove stabs support from dbx
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:28:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020152853.28195-5-guinevere@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020152853.28195-1-guinevere@redhat.com>
This commit makes it so reading dbx inferiors will not read stabs
debuginfo from the inferiors.
This has the side effect of making reading DBX inferiors a noop. It
will be removed in a future commit, however, the present series of
commit is focused on just removing stabs.
Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
