Michael (or anybody there). Is it possible to display the state of the register at a given stack frame? I am interested in "i0", which I think is the "this" pointer of my c++ program.
I am using mdb to find the address of "this" because I can't make gdb work with a core file generated by gcore (by the way, mdb also does not work with a core generated with gdb) With this address I can continue the post mortem analysis in gdb.
