Well, the code I am working on right now is ksh93 and that is not really a CPU-hungry monster application... I would even be happy with something which needs 50times more time for execution... BTW: What about using "valgrind"'s solution to rewrite the code on demand (e.g. replace priviledged instructions etc.) ? > To make this practical, we need the following RFE implemented in > Solaris x86: > > http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6284894 Uhm... I thought the "utrap" feature is something unique to the UltraSPARC hardware... or am I completely wrong here ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
