Subject: [PATCH 4/8] Windows gdb: Refactor getting pointer to register inside context
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 13:32:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712113229.3695246-4-ssbssa@yahoo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260712113229.3695246-1-ssbssa@yahoo.de>
These get_context_reg_ptr helper functions will be extended for XState
registers later.
