Philip,
Thanks a lots. Although I am an advocacy of GNU but speak truly, SDT has
armulator and source (symbolic) debugger for me to hacking the kernel
with less pain (I think so).
So I would rather like to look for some methods which can work around
these built-in variables. If there are deadly no way to work around then I
will use GCC. But I still eager to know how to do a thing with
more than 2 ways.
Larry Wall said: There are more than one way to do a thing.
Philip, Thanks.
Somebody's advise here are still welcome and appreciated.
Artis J.
