Subject: [PATCH 01/13] gdb: make demangle_parse_info own the memory its tree points into
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:17:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020162054.2140671-2-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020162054.2140671-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com>

mangled_name_to_comp returns, through output parameters, some memory
that the caller needs to hold onto while it uses the returned
demangle_component.  The `memory` parameter is used if we take the
gdb_cplus_demangle_v3_components branch, while the `demangled_p`
parameter is used if we take the fallback.

To make it easier for the callers, move these two fields inside
demangle_parse_info.  demangle_parse_info already contains other objects
whose lifetime is tied to the demangle_component.
