No longer create readonly regcache
Nowadays, we create a readonly regcache in get_return_value, and pass it to gdbarch_return_value to get the return value. In theory, we can pass a readable_regcache instance and get the return value, because we don't need to modify the regcache. Unfortunately, gdbarch_return_value is designed to multiplex regcache, according to READBUF and WRITEBUF. # If READBUF is not NULL, extract the return value and save it in this # buffer. # # If WRITEBUF is not NULL, it contains a return value which will be # stored into the appropriate register. In fact, gdbarch_return_value should be split to three functions, 1) only return return_value_convention, 2) pass regcache_readonly and readbuf, 3) pass regcache and writebuf. These changes are out of the scope of this patch series, so I pass regcache to gdbarch_return_value even for read, and trust each gdbarch backend doesn't modify regcache. gdb: 2018-02-21 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * infcmd.c (get_return_value): Let stop_regs point to get_current_regcache. * regcache.c (regcache::regcache): Remove. (register_dump_reg_buffer): New class. (regcache_print): Adjust. * regcache.h (regcache): Remove constructors.
