Subject: [PATCH] Do not use ENUM_BITFIELD
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 14:29:40 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260524202940.1870575-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
C++ always allows enum bitfields, so gdb no longer needs to use the
ENUM_BITFIELD macro.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32821
