Subject: [PATCH v11 10/28] scripts/gdb: Add read_u16/32/64 helpers
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 07:46:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f0627582975a98fe6e1457cb01e8ca2197c086be.1422514006.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1422514006.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1422514006.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Add helpers for reading integers from target memory buffers. Required
when caching the memory access is more efficient than reading individual
values via gdb.
