Hello, This patch adds frame sniffers (name stolen from other sniffer code) to the frame code. Unlike the existing frame predicate methods that take a PC parameter, these take a full NEXT_FRAME. It leaves the old frame predicates alone (making this safe for the branch). I figure that should be enough to keep any unwinder, trying to decide if the frame is good, happy :-) I'll look to commit this to both the trunk and 6.0 branch early next week. I'll then follow up with patches to: - rips out the old predicate methods (mainline only) - replace the dwarf2 predicate with a dwarf2 sniffer Will apply to mainline and branch. Should fix weird edge case where a function has no cfi but is doing a tail call to a no-return function, but the code following the function does have CFI. - (I guess) something to work around the dwarf2 unwind info (need to look at Mark's old code) I've so far tested it on a RH9 system (with the sniffer enabled) and it hasn't shown a sign of regressing. Can anyone point me at testcases that will magically start passing with this fixed? Andrew
