[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D48351: Move dumping code out of RegisterValue class

[Zachary Turner via lldb-commits]

I had previously thought of making a top level project called Dump that
depends on everything. Also makes it very obvious where all the dumpers
are. It can have overloaded functions called lldb_private::dump(T&) for
every value of T, then no matter what type you have, all you have to do is
call dump(T). Kills all birds with one stone
