I forgot to fix this up. Hopefully the following seems a little less
like pointer abuse:
/*
* Target helper function to read value into GByteArray, target
* supplies the size and target endianess via the MemOp.
*/
int gdb_get_register_value(MemOp op, GByteArray *buf, void *val)
{
unsigned bytes = memop_size(op);
uint8_t *data = val;
if (op & MO_BSWAP) {
uint8_t *ptr = &data[bytes - 1];
do {
g_byte_array_append(buf, ptr--, 1);
} while (ptr >= data);
} else {
g_byte_array_append(buf, val, bytes);
}
return bytes;
