Subject: [rfa] fix invidious casting bug in infptrace.c with 64-bit CORE_ADDR
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 17:30:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010725173040.A25389@nevyn.them.org> (raw)
This causes all sorts of interesting problems if memaddr happens to be, say,
0x17fffff00 (i.e. 33 bits). There's something else wrong that memaddr was
so large, since ptrace on MIPS/Linux will truncate it back to 32-bit anyway,
but we still shouldn't let this happen. memaddr and addr end up 4G apart,
and count is unimaginably too large.
OK to commit?
