Subject: [PATCH 11/11] gdb: make iterate_over_symbols return void, rename to for_each_symbol
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:16:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416202408.422441-12-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416202408.422441-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>

From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

Nothing really uses the return value of iterate_over_symbols and
language::iterate_over_symbols.  Also, all provided callback always
return true, iterating on all matching symbols.  Simplify them to not
return a value and not have the "stop iterating" feature.

Rename to for_each_symbol, just to be consistent with previous patches.

Also rename symbol_found_callback_ftype to
for_each_symbol_callback_ftype for consistency.
