I wrote a small program to talk to ptrace and look at the trace of small sample programs to test the patch. I do this on P4 32bit and Core2 64bit. Our debugger team has a prototype implementation for their debugger. But that will not be available for some time. I hope that we get gdb support, soon, but that would take a while if I had to do it. >e.g. I'm still feeling a bit uneasy about that global sysctl >embedded in the interface. I added a ptrace command to query for the maximal buffer size and moved the macro to ptrace_bts.h. I am not sure how much flexibility is actually needed, here. I would expect the trace to be very useful near its tail, but unmanageable when it gets too big. I would rather add flexibility when and where it is needed. regards, markus. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel GmbH Dornacher Strasse 1 85622 Feldkirchen/Muenchen Germany Sitz der Gesellschaft: Feldkirchen bei Muenchen Geschaeftsfuehrer: Douglas Lusk, Peter Gleissner, Hannes Schwaderer Registergericht: Muenchen HRB 47456 Ust.-IdNr.
