Subject: dwarf2_compute_name: add fixme, don't use same name as parameter for local
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ee7123e5a54fba15b976a05bce173871eba8aba;p=binutils-gdb.git

dwarf2_compute_name: add fixme, don't use same name as parameter for local

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_compute_name): Add FIXME.  Don't use a local
	variable name that collides with a parameter.
