Subject: [PATCH 4/9] gdb: use a switch on m_kind in add_matching_symbols
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:39:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929194119.155169-5-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929194119.155169-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>
add_matching_symbols applies some filters that only make sense for some
kinds of searches: the type regexp for variables and functions, the
LOC_UNRESOLVED / enum constant filter for variables, and the line number
filter for modules. Some of these check m_kind, others check the
symbol's domain. Since the earlier sym->matches check only lets through
symbols whose domain corresponds to m_kind, the two are equivalent.
Group these filters in a single switch on m_kind. Add a comment for
the module filter, which skips module declarations, because it wasn't
obvious to me at first sight.
