gdb can handle assembler functions..... on some architectures even assembler functions would need to follow ABI requirements for prologue/epilogue, and have unwinding info. gdb also uses code reading to do unwinding, so assembler functions can be unwound usually... > The i386 kdb patch has its own heuristics for working out how far into > the function the breakpoint is and for working out what state the stack > is at that point. ok, i will try to make kdb on parisc work under these conditions. thanks for the clarification. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/ --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
