Hello,
The current "target_ops" structure appeared with GDB 4. The original implementation containing only methods. Since then the target_ops have evolved to include data vis:
struct section_table
*to_sections;
struct section_table
*to_sections_end;
I think, the vector should be re-named to "struct target" or "struct gdbtarg" (consistent with gdbarch, and more name space proof) so that it correctly reflects its current implementation.
I'd like to do this now, before the target methods start being explicitly parameterized with their target vector.
