Hello,
The attached patch changes the way Insight converts from a tcl string to
a CORE_ADDR. Without the patch Insight would use
parse_and_eval_address() when converting an address (in ascii) into a
CORE_ADDR. Unfortunatly, that function, on harvard architectures, does
strange and wonderful things.
You can see the problems if you try to use the memory window to modify
locations.
This code adds a very simple (?) function for converting the tcl integer
directly into a core_addr. It also adds a function to convert a
core_addr to a string (not yet used), I suspect Insight needs an audit
and should ensure that these functions are always used.
Comments? Ok (tcl)? The utils.c change is pretty straightforward.
Andrew

I think this code is long overdue, and I will be very happy to see it
checked in. Everything looks just fine.
Thanks!
