If this is just for testing purposes, then you probably want to look at `-finstrument-functions'; by ensuring that stacks are all aligned on an 8K or so boundary, you can write small assembly functions named: void __cyg_profile_func_enter (void *this_fn, void *call_site); void __cyg_profile_func_exit (void *this_fn, void *call_site); And check the stack pointer against the previous alignment address (example: stack address mod 8K := current stack depth). I've used these for non-statistical profiling (e.g. recording specific arc's in gprof-usable buckets for kernel profiling, rather than relying on a statistics clock and the current PC), but the principle should work the same for this purpose. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
