[Ltrace-devel] [PATCH 0/8] MIPSEL o32 updates

[edgar.iglesias at gmail.com]

From: "Edgar E. Iglesias" <edgar at axis.com>

Hi,

This is the series I've been hacking on. There are still issues
with threaded apps.

There are at least two issues:
1. Singlestepping over breakpoints is not really thread safe, IIUC.
2. Waiting until function return until adding breakpoints to
   resolved addresses is to late and not thread safe.

I plan to take a closer look at the watchpoint approach to eliminate nr 2
as Petr M suggested. Any suggestions on howto solve issue nr 1 are also
wellcome. Leaving the breakpoint inplace and emulating the insn might be
a last resort, but quite involved...

I've tested this on a MIPSEL 32R2 o32 and it seems to work fine
for single threaded apps. I've also ran the ltrace testsuite with
the patches on an x86_64.

I'll be happy to fix any comments you might have!

Cheers,
Edgar
