Subject: Re: [RFA] Better support for DWARF location blocks (was DWARF support for  .debug_loc offsets)
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 09:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <npn0sxue43.fsf@zwingli.cygnus.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3D2DE995.BE7DA3B4@caldera.com>


Looks good --- please commit.  Thank you!

But --- could you make a function attr_form_is_block that takes an
attribute and returns true if its form is one of the DW_FORM_block*
forms, and use that instead of writing out the list each time?
