Hi, Which out of ptrace and /proc is the process debugging interface of choice? I've looked over the source and by the comments it seems that ptrace doesn't have attach/detach implemented very well and the source for /proc says it's not possible to single step through signal delivery! The second question is, where is process debugging going in the long term, ptrace or /proc? Having looked at ptrace on SunOS 4.1.3 and /proc on Solaris, Solaris /proc does look very nice indeed. Please reply directly to me as I'm not on the list. Dave.
