I guess that using the same values is hackily guaranteed to work for binary compatibility, right? > Yeah, we knew that was going to be fragile. Needs fixing. This sort of things is what autoconf is for. However we shouldn't use that, and probably not its ideas... in the past we've used grep into headers (for hostfs, a stat field had been renamed). Btw, while about setjmp/longjmp: they save only a few registers, not all ones (and obviously not EAX and the return value); in fact GCC docs says that local variables should be marked as volatile or risk being destroyed. What about this? Inserting an asm volatile clobbering all unsaved registers (what I thought for long time)? Or taking the libc implementation and suiting it for our use, solving the above problem? We do such things for context switch in the traced process, doing it for us should be simpler (but it's in assembler). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
