[PATCH v2] makedumpfile: add parameters to update_cyclic_region

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi HATAYAMA and Atsushi,

I think v2 is better than v1, since update_cyclic_region can be used
with a more flexible calling.

What's your opinion about this?
