Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] [gdb] Add prev/next params to find_pc_section
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 11:48:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909094849.2745086-6-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909094849.2745086-1-tdevries@suse.de>
Now that we're using std::lower_bound to find sections in find_pc_section,
extend find_pc_section to return the previous and next section in case it
returns nullptr.
