From: Pedro Alves Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 14:11:27 +0000 (+0100) Subject: infrun.c:keep_going: update comments. X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9ba6bae213085fc150810e408b28a014bb38cde;p=binutils-gdb.git infrun.c:keep_going: update comments. This function still has comments referring back to when it was a goto label in wait_for_inferior, eons ago. Looking closer, actually most of its comments could use a facelift (contents/formatting/typos). That's what this patch does. gdb/ 2013-10-22 Pedro Alves * infrun.c (keep_going): Update comments. --- diff --git a/gdb/infrun.c b/gdb/infrun.c index b1f961163b1..b1d2dc50be2 100644 --- a/gdb/infrun.c +++ b/gdb/infrun.c @@ -5720,9 +5720,9 @@ stop_stepping (struct execution_control_state *ecs) ecs->wait_some_more = 0; } -/* This function handles various cases where we need to continue - waiting for the inferior. */ -/* (Used to be the keep_going: label in the old wait_for_inferior). */ +/* Called when we should continue running the inferior, because the + current event doesn't cause a user visible stop.
