Subject: [PATCH v4 2/9] Windows gdb: Use allocated buffer for CONTEXT
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 17:11:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930151403.774660-2-ssbssa@yahoo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930151403.774660-1-ssbssa@yahoo.de>
This is done in preparation for the XState functions, because the
extended registers are stored directly after the CONTEXT, and its actual
size depends on the available XState features.
Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

v3:
- fixed missing newline
- merged initialize_context into the windows_process_info constructor
v4: no changes
