Subject: [RFA] Darwin: single step through sigreturn
Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E2F1ED75-ECB8-450F-9D17-65D3A23B2CDC@adacore.com> (raw)

Hi,

as other platform, single stepping through the sigreturn syscall is  
special: changing the cpu state
is useless as the context is restored.  The trace bit must be set in  
the to be restored context.

Tristan.

	* i386-darwin-nat.c (i386_darwin_sstep_at_sigreturn): New function.
	(amd64_darwin_sstep_at_sigreturn): New function.
	(darwin_set_sstep): The sigreturn is a special case: the trace flag
	must be set in the mcontext structure.
