Message-ID: <20020109193418.L17203@dr-evil.shagadelic.org> Reply-To: thorpej@wasabisystems.com Mail-Followup-To: Jason R Thorpe , gdb@sources.redhat.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Organization: Wasabi Systems, Inc. X-SW-Source: 2002-01/txt/msg00077.txt.bz2 Is anyone actually using the alpha-freebsd target in gdb-current? I'm working on alpha-netbsd support, and it uses the pre-existing alphabsd-nat.c. ...but I'm having some serious problems. They seem to be related to breakpoints -- If I skip the implicit breakpoint at __start (_start on a FreeBSD/alpha system) a test program behaves "more correctly" (there are still some problems), but completely loses if I leave that breakpoint there. Also, NetBSD/alpha requires software single-stepping in gdb (which I have implemented), which uses breakpoints ... the software single stepping also gives unexpected results (the PC value when the breakpoint trips is not what I expect). But, anyway, I'd really like to just know if anyone is successfully using the alpha bsd native support successfully right now. That would help eliminate some variables for me. Thanks. -- -- Jason R.
