Subject: [PATCH v2] gdb: update store_integer's comment
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 06:38:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505063809.1821415-1-markus.t.metzger@intel.com> (raw)

From: Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com>

The comment of store_integer seems slightly outdated and does not
refer to the variants that take an array view.  Update the comment.
