Subject: * core.c (core_open):  Improve error message for bad file.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=45e6027024086f9c13a6f86e38ed75073556faca;p=binutils-gdb.git

* core.c (core_open):  Improve error message for bad file.
Pass .reg virtual memory address to fetch_core_registers to help
it find the registers in the core-file header.
* coredep.c (fetch_core_registers):  Take new argument, use it,
and pass it to register_addr to locate the block of registers.
