Subject: [PATCH v2 10/11] gdb: change some pointers to references in global_symbol_searcher
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 22:09:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001020952.698419-11-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929194119.155169-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>
From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
add_matching_symbols and add_matching_msymbols take the container to
add results to as a pointer, but it can never be nullptr. Pass it by
reference instead.
The objfiles are also passed by pointer to the various helper methods,
switch that to references.
