Subject: refactoring elf_find_and_remove_property
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf3825777802a65f5476ff2652dc1c1c26e6728a;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

refactoring elf_find_and_remove_property

This refactoring focuses primarily on code readability and reuse.
- Use the already defined _bfd_elf_find_property instead of another
  raw for-loop.
- Extract _bfd_elf_remove_property out of the function body.
