Hmm, i've once looked into it, but gdb4's structure is totally changed. The hooks for a dyadic frame specification have already been in gdb3, so this has been an easy job to do. I've just committed it since i found this useful (and i had to analyze some core dumps in the last couple of days). Can someone with more insight into gdb4 speak up? -- cheers, J"org work: --- no longer --- private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
