This PR removes unnecessary trait abstractions from the GDB debugging code, specifically the DbgMemAccessHandlerCaller trait and DbgMemAccessHandlerWrapper type alias, as requested in issue #743.

Changes Made

The following abstractions have been removed:

  • DbgMemAccessHandlerCaller trait from src/hyperlight_host/src/hypervisor/handlers.rs
  • DbgMemAccessHandlerWrapper type alias from the same file
  • DbgMemAccessContainer struct from src/hyperlight_host/src/sandbox/mem_access.rs
  • dbg_mem_access_handler_wrapper function from the same file
  • The empty handlers.rs file itself and its module declaration

All occurrences of Arc<Mutex<dyn DbgMemAccessHandlerCaller>> have been replaced with direct usage of Arc<Mutex<MemMgrWrapper<HostSharedMemory>>>. Trait method calls have been replaced with direct calls to the underlying functionality:

  • trait_obj.read(addr, data)wrapper.unwrap_mgr_mut().get_shared_mem_mut().copy_to_slice(data, addr)
  • trait_obj.write(addr, data)wrapper.unwrap_mgr_mut().get_shared_mem_mut().copy_from_slice(data, addr)
  • trait_obj.get_code_offset()wrapper.unwrap_mgr().layout.get_guest_code_address()

The test_initialise() test was restored and updated to work with the new direct approach.

Benefits

This change eliminates an unnecessary abstraction layer while maintaining the exact same functionality. The code is now more direct and easier to follow, with one less trait to understand when working with the GDB debugging functionality.

Fixes #743.

@copilot reinstate the test test_initialise(). Also make sure to run just clippy debug and just clippy release and fix any errors before committing changes

I've reinstated the test_initialise() test and updated it to work with the new direct approach (without the removed trait abstractions). The test now properly passes Arc<Mutex<MemMgrWrapper<HostSharedMemory>>> directly to the initialise method instead of using the removed dbg_mem_access_handler_wrapper function.

I've also run both just clippy debug and just clippy release - both passed without any warnings or errors.

Changes made in commit 8ab75e0.

Fixed the duplicate import errors in hyperv_windows.rs by removing the redundant standalone imports. Both just clippy debug and just clippy release now pass without errors. Changes committed in ad41a02.
