[PATCH v3 10/13] scripts/gdb: Add internal helper and convenience function to retrieve thread_info

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

 



Add the internal helper get_thread_info that calculated the thread_info
from a given task variable. Also export this service as a convenience
function.

Note: ia64 version is untested.
