Re: Kernel Debugging Help

Thanks Terry & Quinn,

I will read the GDB documentation in more depth, and will try a few stint......

In the meantime, Quinn, if you could expand the showtask macro to also include the status field (p->stat) of the BSD proc structure, it would be great....

Thanks,
Arvind

P.S
I am too sure whether reporting status of a process would be the right thing, as it are threads that have state (waiting/suspended/ready/running) rather than the process.

If you can suggest a specific example of which macro you'd like to
dump which field, I can do the work and post it as an example.

No.  If you look at the Mac OS X source you'll see some vestigial
remnants of this concept, but it's never been used in anger on Mac OS
X and it's definitely /not/ the cause of your debugging problems.

Share and Enjoy
