Bug ID: 16243
Summary: python objfiles API oddity
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: python
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com

The documentation for gdb.objfiles should mention that
the objfiles returned are actually from the current
program space.

Also I think there should maybe be a method on gdb.Progspace to
return that program space's objfiles.

Looking at py-progspace.c, pspy_get_filename assumes only one (or no) object
file can be associated with a program space.

Maybe there was a typo in your comment "program space's objfiles"?

I can easily add a function to return a gdb.Objfile object, but I wanted to
check first to make sure there was not an additional bug here.

The original bug is referring to the "gdb.objfiles" method.
It actually returns just the objfiles in the current program space.

I have most of this PR (not the doc bits) on a branch.
I'll try to clean it up.

Okay thanks. Assigning to you for when you get some time to do the docs and
push.

I had sent the patch ages ago, but I rebased & resent it again this week.
