Subject: Portable syscall inspection
Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 08:59:37 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d57814d0705281559y56576567r2c23edda5f22c3cf@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Someone finally noticed that my program that uses ptrace only works on i386..
and, by the looks of it, there is no portable way to refer to the
registers of a
user_regs_struct when inspecting a system call.

I will probably end up making a header file for each architecture that
defines where
in the user_regs_struct things like the syscall number, the return
value and the first 3 parameters are..

has anyone done this already?  or can otherwise save me a lot of time?

Thanks,

Trent
