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.
