Hmm, when Andrew converted infptrace.c into inf-ptrace.c and even more so when I converted infttrace.c into inf-ttrace.c we took the opportunity, to do some serious cleanup. In a way, the introduction of these files offers a unique opportunity to clean things up target by target. And I really think procfs.c is in need of such a cleanup. Right now it's a maze of #ifdefs; there are also some Solaris-related improvements that should be made, but that I haven't done yet, because I'm too afraid of breaking other targets. It'd be great if you would be willing to do the cleanup. If not, could you give me two weeks to finish my (barely started) attempt to do it? Mark
