Subject: [rfc] ``pc'' -> resume_addr?
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 13:38:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CB5F437.30607@cygnus.com> (raw)
Hello,
GDB, in a number of places, refers to the ``pc'' - PC_REGNUM, frame->pc,
read_pc(), write_pc(), ...
I think this name choice was unfortunate. It is too easy for a
developer to confuse ``pc'' with the hardware ``pc''.
With this in mind, I'd like to propose a GDBspeak ``resume_addr''. It
is the address of the first instruction that will be executed when the
target resumes.
thoughts? better names?
Andrew
