Subject: [RFC] Wording of "catch syscall <number>" warning
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090925003107.87780843AC@ruffy.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)

Hi.

The current wording of this warning feels clumsy if syscall names
are unavailable.  It implies there are known syscalls, when there is not.

I'll leave this for a few days and then check it in if there
are no objections.
One alternative is to not print the warning at all if system call
names are unavailable.

2009-09-24  Doug Evans  <dje@google.com>

	* breakpoint.c (catch_syscall_split_args): Use a different warning
	for "catch syscall <number>" when syscall names are unavailable.
