Ah, right -- I wondered if there was something like this, but initially I'd just been looking at the ptrace man page; I guess it's rather too out-of-date for this. > > See e.g. arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c, which by now implements all > of its legacy ptrace register commands in terms of regset functions. OK, I'll take a look -- thanks. ---Dave _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
