Subject: [PATCH 13/17] dyndbg: move mod_name down from struct ddebug_table to _ddebug_info
Date: Mon, 04 May 2026 14:45:19 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504-dd-cleanups-2-v1-13-6fdd24040642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504-dd-cleanups-2-v1-0-6fdd24040642@gmail.com>
struct _ddebug_info already has most of dyndbg's info for a module;
push debug_table.mod_name down into it, finishing the encapsulation.
This allows refactoring several callchains, passing &_ddebug_info
instead of &ddebug_table, and hoisting the "&dt->info" deref up
instead of repeating it thru the callchans
ddebug_table contains a _ddebug_info member, so its users keep access
to mod_name, just now with "->info." added in.
In static ddebug_add_module(&di), reinforce the cursor-model by
dropping the modname arg, and setting di->mod_name at each caller.
