Subject: [PATCH v2 03/11] gdb: factor out regexp compilation from global_symbol_searcher::search
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 22:09:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001020952.698419-4-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929194119.155169-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>
From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
Factor out the scopes that compile the regexps, in order to make
global_symbol_searcher::search itself simpler to read. Factor out a helper
to compile a symbol search regex as well.
Change-Id: Ie4485b2eb593967069ac635c933df817bc5304e6
