Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Add gdbpy_safe_invalid_object_repr
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:15:48 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023-python-safety-fixmes-v1-3-055b9e1d237b@tromey.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023-python-safety-fixmes-v1-0-055b9e1d237b@tromey.com>
This adds gdbpy_safe_invalid_object_repr, a simple wrapper that lets
us remove some Python FIXMEs.
