I've re-factored the code to not need it.

These functions are removed, and we now use obstacks within the Python
code to grow the pattern until it is finalised.

Fixed, thanks.

I've changed this to just compare the objects.

I've removed the API for this.

This was talked about at length on irc, and on the mailing list too.
As we just store the frame id I think we figured out we were ok.

Latest patch attached.

+@findex gdb.Inferior
+Programs which are being run under @value{GDBN} are called inferiors
+(@pxref{Inferiors and Programs}).  Python scripts can access
+information about and manipulate inferiors controlled by @value{GDBN}
+via objects of the @code{gdb.Inferior} class.
+
+The following inferior-related functions are available in the @code{gdb}
+module:
+
+@defun inferiors
+Return a tuple containing all inferior objects.
+@end defun
+
+A @code{gdb.Inferior} object has the following attributes:
+
+@table @code
+@defivar Inferior num
+ID of inferior, as assigned by GDB.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar Inferior pid
+Process ID of the inferior, as assigned by the underlying operating
+system.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar Inferior was_attached
+Boolean signaling whether the inferior was created using `attach', or
+started by @value{GDBN} itself.
+@end defivar
+@end table
+
+A @code{gdb.Inferior} object has the following methods:
+
+@table @code
+@defmethod Inferior threads
+This method returns a tuple holding all the threads which are valid
+when it is called.  If there are no valid threads, the method will
+return an empty tuple.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.read_memory
+@defmethod Inferior read_memory address length
+Read @var{length} bytes of memory from the inferior, starting at
+@var{address}.  Returns a buffer object, which behaves much like an array
+or a string.  It can be modified and given to the @code{gdb.write_memory}
+function.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.write_memory
+@defmethod Inferior write_memory address buffer @r{[}length@r{]}
+Write the contents of @var{buffer} to the inferior, starting at
+@var{address}.  The @var{buffer} parameter must be a Python object
+which supports the buffer protocol, i.e., a string, an array or the
+object returned from @code{gdb.read_memory}.  If given, @var{length}
+determines the number of bytes from @var{buffer} to be written.
+@end defmethod
+
+@findex gdb.search_memory
+@defmethod Inferior search_memory address length pattern @r{[}size@r{]} @r{[}max_count@r{]}
+Search a region of the inferior memory starting at @var{address} with the
+given @var{length}.  @var{pattern} can be a string, a byte array, a buffer
+object, a number, a @code{gdb.Value} object (@pxref{Values From
+Inferior}), or a Python list or a tuple with elements in any combination
+of those types.  If @var{pattern} is a list or a tuple, each element
+will be extracted and concatenated together to form @var{pattern}.
+
+If @var{size} is given and is non-zero, it specifies the size in bytes
+of a Python scalar or @code{gdb.Value} in the search pattern.  If
+@var{size} is zero or not specified, the size is taken from the value's type
+in the current language.  If @var{pattern} is a tuple or list, these
+actions apply to each element in the tuple or list.  This is useful
+when one wants to specify the search pattern as a mixture of types.
+Note that this means, for example, that in the case of C-like
+languages a search for an untyped 0x42 will search for @samp{(int)
+0x42} which is typically four bytes.  @var{max_count} is the highest
+number of matches to search for.

+ID of the thread, as assigned by the operating system.  This attribute is a
+tuple containing three integers.  The first is the Process ID (PID); the second
+is the Lightweight Process ID (TID), and the third is the Thread ID (TID).
+Either the TID or TID may be 0, which indicates that the operating system
