Subject: [pushed 01/28] Windows gdb+gdbserver: New find_thread, replaces thread_rec(DONT_INVALIDATE_CONTEXT)
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:44:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424204508.1343973-2-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424204508.1343973-1-pedro@palves.net>
The goal of the next few patches is to eliminate thread_rec
completely. This is the first patch in that effort.
thread_rec(DONT_INVALIDATE_CONTEXT) is really just a thread lookup
with no side effects, so this adds a find_thread function that lets
you do that.
Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
