Getting the registers of the program in a signal handler

Howdie list, I'm trying to build the be-old, end-all exception signal signal handler for SIGSEGV, SIGILL, SIGFPE and their ilk. One thing that will be useful to do in such a handler is dump the state of the CPU registers when and where the program segfauled etc. Sadly, despite zealous code

The only way I know of is becoming a registered debugger with ptrace, and using the uber ability: ptrace(( __ptrace_request )PTRACE_GETREGS, pid, 0, regs) If the program is not being debugged externally, you can try to attach inside the handler, if you succeed, getting the registers. Hope

Hi, I am trying to use a RADIUS client (currently written in Perl) to authenticate with a Windows 2000/2003 RADIUS Server. Here is the perl code: #!/usr/bin/perl use Authen::Radius; my $host = '192.168.4.107'; my $r = new Authen::Radius(Host = $host, Secret = 'secret', Debug = true);

Recommendations for XP under Linux

Greetings. I have started a new job and find that I will have to use some applications which will run only under Windows (XP). I would like to run Linux on my desktop with a virtual XP machine running under it. In the (relatively distant) past I have use VMware for this. At the time, I convinced

There are 3 options: 1. You can use VMWare server which is free and you can use it to create your machine and either use the VMWare server with your image or with VMWare player. Just make sure to insall VMWare tools on your guest OS. 2. Search on the net vmx geneator, and you'll find some web

Well, QEMU as it stands now is still slower compared to VMWare, even with the latest kqemu kernel module, and I assumed Aharon wanted the fastest solution. Quite a lot of things are changing internally at this time in QEMU, both in other platform emulation, GUI, and other changes which takes

Well, if you would test the latest KQEMU kernel module, you might be surprised at the speed hike it got. It's not fast as VMWare, but it's getting very close. The speed difference now is at around ~30% Thanks, Hetz On 7/2/06, Shachar Shemesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gilad Ben-Yossef wrote:
