As far as I understand the source code, the end of every translated block is at a control transfer instruction or when a maximum translation block length has been reached. You can grep for "gen_eob" in the translate.c source code of any particular target (fe i386/translate.c) to see the points at which an end of block is generated and the blocks are sliced. It may also be helpful to let qemu write the input & output asm code of translated blocks to a log file (qemu -d in_asm, out_asm) for better understanding how it works under the hood, by watching how the blocks are being generated/sliced on the fly. cheers, Joachim De Zutter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
