Subject: [PATCH v2 7/9] gdb/python: accept gdbpy_ref in init helpers and return bool
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 16:16:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303161659.397427-8-matthieu.longo@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303161659.397427-1-matthieu.longo@arm.com>

Passing 'gdbpy_ref<> &' instead of raw 'PyObject *' to init helpers
makes ownership of PyObject clearer at call sites, and removes
unnecessary '.get()' calls.
Changing the return type from 'int' to 'bool' improves readability
and better expresses the success/failure semantics.
