Tapset functions written in the script language automatically get guru-mode
checking for $target/@cast writes, but embedded-C functions have no way to
indicate that they should be restricted to guru-mode.
This could be done with a simple "/* guru */" string match, the same way we use
"/* pure */" already...

Right now, there is nothing stopping one from overriding such decorations (with -g, or by copying the tapset function body into a new undecorated copy). -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9958 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
