[PATCH] Move generic_load declaration to symfile.h
- From: Simon Marchi <simon dot marchi at polymtl dot ca>
- To: gdb-patches at sourceware dot org
- Cc: Simon Marchi <simon dot marchi at polymtl dot ca>

- Subject: [PATCH] Move generic_load declaration to symfile.h
... since the implementation is in symfile.c.
At the same time, add some documentation and make sure the first
parameter's name in the declaration matches the definition.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* defs.h (generic_load): Move from here...
* symfile.h (generic_load): ... to here. Rename name parameter
to args.
* symfile.c (generic_load): Add comment.
