Subject: [PATCH 3/3] gdb/coffread: simplify stab section detection
Date: Fri,  9 Jan 2026 14:14:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109191441.486109-3-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109191441.486109-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>

We look for stab sections for the sole purpose of emitting a warning if
we see one.  Simplify this by using a boolean to indicate if we saw a
stab section or not.  Simplify the search to just look for sections
starting with ".stab", it should be enough for this purpose.

Also, remove the make_scoped_restore that would overwrite the stab
section vector, I'm not sure why it's there.  It seems to me like it
would cause the warning to never be shown.
