Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] [gdb/tui] Make low_prev loop-local in tui_find_disassembly_address
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 11:40:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007094057.1811886-3-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007094057.1811886-1-tdevries@suse.de>

There's a loop in tui_find_disassembly_address:
...
  CORE_ADDR prev_low;
  ...
  do
    {
      ...
      if (last_addr >= pc && new_low != prev_low
          && asm_lines.size () >= max_lines)
        ...
    }
  while ((last_addr > pc
          || (last_addr == pc && asm_lines.size () < max_lines))
         && new_low != prev_low);
...

Simplify the two conditions by handling new_low == prev_low before:
...
      if (new_low == prev_low)
        break;
...

Now that prev_low is no longer tested in the loop condition, make it a
loop-local variable.

No functional changes.
