Hi Ulrich and community, Please find attached the patch. >The function looks reasonable, but it's in the wrong file - >you still install it unconditionally on all operating systems. >Instead, this function should go to rs6000-aix-tdep.c (next >to rs6000_aix_iterate_over_regset_sections) and should be >installed from rs6000_aix_init_osabi. This is done. Kindly check it out. I have pasted both 64 bit and 32 bit core file outputs below. It works alright. Thank you for the guidance. So I always thought rs6000-tdep.c is only used by AIX. Just for my knowledge kindly let me know who else is using it? Is it powerpc Linux folks? And is the rs600-tdep file is common to both of us. This will be useful for me if ever I need to do any change in the future. Kindly push this if there are no more changes required from your end. If there are, then let me know. Have a nice day ahead. Thanks and regards, Aditya. ------------------------------------- 32 bit output with patch:- ./gdb ~/gdb_tests/bll_core core.13828468 GNU gdb (GDB) 14.0.50.20230221-git Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The function looks reasonable, but it's in the wrong file - you still install it unconditionally on all operating systems. Instead, this function should go to rs6000-aix-tdep.c (next to rs6000_aix_iterate_over_regset_sections) and should be installed from rs6000_aix_init_osabi. Bye, Ulrich
