Re: Ptrace: step-by-step and breakpoints

Does anybody has some documentation or sample code?

You might find the code in Microsoft's shared source CLI (<http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/sscli>) useful. It does all of these, though parts of the code might be a bit confusing. It doesn't use ptrace because Mach calls worked better on Mac OS X than ptrace's somewhat crufty interface.

Once you expand the tarball, you'll probably find the contents of pal/unix/arch/ppc interesting, as well as pal/unix/exception/machexception.c.

Hope this helps,
Eric
