Subject: stack unwinding on aix
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 06:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050621062550.51938.qmail@web52701.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello,

 I am trying to locate a piece of code in gdb 6.3
which does srack unwinding in AIX (5.3). When
unwinding the stack in my C code, I noticed a lot of
dummy frames whose pc points to the data segment
and/or outside th text segment(s). Can someone tell me
how gdb identifies such dummy frames and wherein the
code base it is? rs6000-tdep.c contains some algo for
frameless function detection etc.., but that isn't all
to it.

thanks
-kamal
