Subject: [PATCH v2 07/17] gdb: split make_type_with_address_space
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 05:41:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722-users-aktemur-type-instance-flags-v2-7-d60dcbc2a76f@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722-users-aktemur-type-instance-flags-v2-0-d60dcbc2a76f@amd.com>
The function make_type_with_address_space is used for creating a type
variant with a particular Harvard address space or an address class
id. The argument is type instance flags. Split the function into
two, each doing one task: (1) making a type variant with a given
Harvard address space id, and (2) making a type variant with a given
address class id. This is a step towards making function signatures
clearer and more descriptive.
Hardcoded shift operations ("<< 2", "<< 4", ">> 4") will go away in a
future patch.
