Subject: [pushed 23/28] Windows gdb+gdbserver: Share $_siginfo reading code
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:45:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424204508.1343973-24-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424204508.1343973-1-pedro@palves.net>
Both GDB and GDBserver have similar code to read the $_siginfo data.
This patch moves the bulk of it to gdb/nat/windows-nat.c so it can be
shared.
Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
