I'm looking into adding a new RegisterContext for windows. Virgile's patch that I was working on merging inherited from RegisterContext_POSIX, but on the surface this seems like the wrong thing to do, and I wonder if we need an entirely new one for Windows (or need to change the name of RegisterContext_POSIX to something else).
What are all the steps involved here? From what I can tell at a minimum I need to implement a RegisterContextWindows_x86 and RegisterContextWindows_x86_64, but there's also RegisterInfoInterface and a few other things I need to figure out. A few other specific questions: 1) Why is all this stuff for different platforms is in Plugins/Process/Utility, instead of in the individual process plugins like Plugins/Process/Linux, or Plugins/Process/FreeBSD? 2) Some code seems to be dead. Like in RegisterContextPosix, there's a long list of static variables, g_contained_eax, g_invalidate_eax, etc. But none of this stuff seems to be used for anything. Am I overlooking something obvious? 3) What is the difference between a RegisterInfoInterface and a RegisterContext?
