As mentioned in a previous question (How to examine a gdb.Type) I'm writing some specialized gdb scripting in python.
I want to call a function pointer, obtained from the inferior process, on a value, also obtained from the inferior process, and get the returned result as a gdb.Value. How?
One possibility is to convert everything to strings and convenience variables, then use gdb.execute() to perform a CLI print command, (e.g. p $2($1) ) which will make a new convenience variable, then get the convenience variable. This seems roundabout and error-prone. Is there a better way?
