- Subject: [python] gdb.read_memory -> Inferior.read_memory
Looks like doc and comments are out of date. This patch is to replace
gdb.{read_memory,write_memory} with Inferior.{read_memory,write_memory}.
Is it OK?
gdb:
2012-06-18 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* python/py-inferior.c: Update comments of infpy_read_memory
and infpy_write_memory.
gdb/doc:
2012-06-18 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Inferiors In Python): Replace "gdb.read_memory"
and "gdb.write_memory" with "Inferior.read_memory" and
"Inferior.write_memory".

Read @var{length} bytes of memory from the inferior, starting at

Write the contents of @var{buffer} to the inferior, starting at
@var{address}. The @var{buffer} parameter must be a Python object
which supports the buffer protocol, i.e., a string, an array or the
-object returned from @code{gdb.read_memory}. If given, @var{length}
+object returned from @code{Inferior.read_memory}. If given, @var{length}
