Subject: Garbage collect py-utils.c:target_string_to_unicode.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=634334ab5ea40ac0a17e5a020a772ed14c23fcb7;p=binutils-gdb.git

Garbage collect py-utils.c:target_string_to_unicode.

The strlen in this function looked suspicious, for the function
documents that STR is in the target's charset (what if it is utf-32,
etc.).

On closer inspection, nothing is calling the function, and it's been
that way ever since the function was added.
