Subject: Return gdbpy_ref<> from gdbpy_registry::lookup
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7fc4f93e286e4222e03e16491459fdaeeee210be;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Return gdbpy_ref<> from gdbpy_registry::lookup

This changes gdbpy_registry::lookup to return a gdbpy_ref<>, using the
type system to convey that a new reference is always returned.
