Subject: revised patch for objdump'ing core files
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199910262354.QAA24845@toadfish.ninemoons.com> (raw)
Some time back, I submitted a patch that allowed objdump to recognize
and dump core files. However that patch had a couple of problems with
properly handling ambiguously recognized files, particularly
bfd_object files.
I believe this patch fixes that. This patch is modeled after how
display_bfd works in size.c, by moving the actual code to process the
bfd out of display_bfd and into a separate function called by
display_bfd, once a match is found.
Could someone please review this and check it in if it looks OK now?
Thanks!

* objdump.c (display_bfd): Break into two functions. The
actual dumping code moves to dump_bfd. If bfd is not
unambiguously recognized as a bfd_object, attempt to dump
it as a bfd_core.
(dump_bfd): New function.
