Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] [gdb] replace bsearch with std::lower_bound in find_pc_section
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 11:48:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909094849.2745086-5-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909094849.2745086-1-tdevries@suse.de>
In find_pc_section, we use bsearch to find a matching section. This works
fine, but in case the pc matches a section hole, it returns nullptr, with no
information about where the section hole is.
Instead, use std::lower_bound.
No functional changes.
