Subject: [PATCH 0/2] minor cleanups for cmd_list_element
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389630533-28327-1-git-send-email-tromey@redhat.com> (raw)

While working on something else, I happened to notice that
cmd_list_element is packed poorly.

This little series first cleans up cmd_list_element by replacing a
flag field with bitfields.  I think the resulting code is clearer.

The second patch trivially rearranges cmd_list_element.  The savings
are modest -- around 50k for "gdb --batch", the best possible case --
but I don't think there is any downside.

Built and regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 18.  I also ran
check-perf and compared the results; the memory use is down a bit and
all the performance differences are just noise.
