[gdb] Add template functions assign_return/set_if_changed
Add template functions assign_return_if_changed and assign_set_if_changed in
gdb/utils.h:
...
template<typename T> void assign_set_if_changed (T &lval, const T &val, bool &changed)
{ ... }
template<typename T> bool assign_return_if_changed (T &lval, const T &val)
{ ... }
...
This allows us to rewrite code like this:
...
if (tui_border_attrs != entry->value)
{
tui_border_attrs = entry->value;
need_redraw = true;
}
...
into this:
...
need_redraw |= assign_return_if_changed<int> (tui_border_attrs, entry->value);
...
or:
...
assign_set_if_changed<int> (tui_border_attrs, entry->value, need_redraw);
...
The names are a composition of the functionality. The functions:
- assign VAL to LVAL, and either
- return true if the assignment changed LVAL, or
- set CHANGED to true if the assignment changed LVAL.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
