Subject: unavailable register
Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 16:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <049501c31b02$61f4e5f0$1400a8c0@astral> (raw)

I have been implementing thread support in a remote
stub.  My initial implementation provided only the
values of the registers.

I have now implemented register modification.  One
small glitch is that some registers are either
architecturally readonly (eg: .sdata base register)
or simple do not exist (eg: a blocking call into the
scheduler does not save those registers that the
calling conventions indicate are destroyable).
My implementation of the 'P' message understands
these issue and returns a failure where appropriate.

Unfortunately, gdb's register cache seems to get
updated before the 'P' message returns success.
