Subject: [PATCH 3/6] gdb/linux-nat: don't memset siginfo on failure in linux_nat_get_siginfo
Date: Fri,  2 Dec 2022 15:09:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221202200925.245955-3-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221202200925.245955-1-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

No caller cares about the value of *SIGINFO on failure.  It's also
documented in the function doc that *SIGINFO is uninitialized (I
understand "untouched") on failure.
