Subject: value_from_pointer: remove call to resolve_dynamic_type
X-Git-Tag: binutils-2_25~543
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb417230fb10c4f5b97cf8cffa973937f7bc8b6c;p=external%2Fbinutils.git

value_from_pointer: remove call to resolve_dynamic_type

The given type is expected to always be a TYPE_CODE_PTR, for which
resolve_dynamic_type does nothing.  So this patch removes this call.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * value.c (value_from_pointer): Remove use of resolve_dynamic_type.
        Adjust code accordingly.  Adjust function description comment.
