corelow.c

corelow.c

[Paul Sulistio]

Hi,

I am porting info threads capabilities from FreeBSd to NetBSD 1.4.1 (not 
support info thread) on i386 machine using gdb4.18  I am successfully ported 
this but only when debugging the running threads.
When I tried to debug the core dump, i have problem
----------------------------------------------------
in corelow.c

-add_to_thread_list ()
   if(strncmp(bfd_section_name(abfd,asect),".reg/",5)!=0)
        return;

   when i extract the value of (asect)->name always gives me .stack
   or .data instead of .reg/

Does anyone know why I get .stack and .data instead of .reg or .reg/ ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-paul

You'll need to make BFD generate the .reg/ pseudosections for your core
dumps.  Look at bfd/elf.c for how ELF targets generally do this; I
don't know what core format NetBSD or FreeBSD uses.
