Yes. We need to be sure however that we don't break core file creation. Historically the PRSTATUS note in the core file has the process ID. The current thread LWP allocation allows us to put the Thread ID in the note and have as many notes as there are threads. Non-threaded processes will create core files that are compatible with older tools. If we change the LWP allocation, we will break this and should probably use LWPSTATUS notes for the thread states and use the PRSTATUS note for the process state. In any case, this requires modifications to binutils, so needs to be coordinated. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
