Subject: Translate memory addresses
Date: Sun, 06 Mar 2011 23:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D741E53.2090104@eagerm.com> (raw)

Hi --

I'm working with a target which needs to translate
a virtual memory addresses to a physical address
before accessing the target's memory or the core file.

I added a new field to target_ops to specify the
translation function and added the following to
target_xfer_partial():

   /* Translate address if needed.  */
   if (ops->to_translate_address)
     offset = ops->to_translate_address (ops, offset);

So far, so good.  I can add this to the target definition
for the live targets.  But this doesn't work for core files.

Core_ops is defined in corelow.c, and there doesn't appear
to be an obvious hook for the target code to modify it to
add the translation routine.

Any suggestions on the best way to add a hook or how to specify
a target routine to do address translations for core files?
