Subject: [PATCH v1 06/10] gdb/linux-tdep: migrate linux_info_proc to file_reader_t
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 16:48:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707154900.94542-7-matthieu.longo@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707154900.94542-1-matthieu.longo@arm.com>

The patch migratse the code of linux_info_proc to use file_reader_t to
read the procfs files.
The availability of array_views allows to also simplify the logic in
several places, where null-terminating characters are replaced by spaces,
or where the file content is iterated line by line.
In the last case, a new helper function, extract_string_view_from_buffer,
encapsulates the logic for such iterations where string are separated by
tokens.
