Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add gdb.current_arch() function to python module -- equivalent of guile (current-arch)
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2017 17:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bc7e5720-6639-e588-a831-17233a9bc0a3@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAH=s-PMKXc_yN=vmpWzHAsZeDOaifSqzcsZVONcNQz1HG-fk5w@mail.gmail.com>

The problem is that without this patch I can't get an Architecture 
object without first having a Frame object, and I can't get a Frame 
object without starting my target program.

Adding a gdb.current_arch() function is in order to get the Architecture 
object I need without starting the target program.
