Hi. At first I thought "Yikes!". :-)
But it turns out that all fetch_registers routines treat 0 and -1 equivalently.
I wouldn't hold up this patch (it's fine with me fwiw), though I would
change the ChangeLog entry to something like: "Use -1 instead of 0 to
fetch all registers." since passing 0 does actually fetch all
registers.
Agreed on all counts.
It would be good to remove this oddity and stop the conflation of 0
and -1, but I don't know what would break.
We could run the testsuite and see what happens as a start.
Does anyone know the history behind this?
Pretty sure nothing will break - since nothing else calls these
functions. I could be mistaken though.
Ok, this would be a more complete patch (with cleanups in
spots where -1 and 0 are used interchangeably).
If you think it would be more appropriate to first commit
regcache.c change only, and then the cleanup, let me know.
ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (usr_fetch_inferior_registers): Remove check
for regno 0.
* proc-service.c (ps_lgetregs): Pass -1 to fetch all registers.
* regcache.c (get_regcache): Likewise.
* spu-low.c (spu_fetch_registers): Remove 0 to -1 conversion.
* win32-low.c (child_fetch_inferior_registers): Remove check
for regno 0.
