Hi,

If a program modifies the stack and instruction pointer ( like valgrind
does ), is it possible to debug this program? For some reason, after
valgrind sets these registers, GDB doesn't seem to understand anything about
the program.

Is it possible to debug a program like this?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi

Any user-level threads package would do the same. There must be
something more going on.

Yes.  Is valgrind doing something else like playing with ptrace?
