Causes of a Machine Check Exception
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Howdy kernel folk, I'm working on a kext and have managed to code myself into causing a Machine Check Exception. Fun. :-) Stack traces are meaningless so I am trying to work out the possible causes of an MCE from my code. I'm pretty certain at one cause of an MCE is stack overflow. That's the first place I am looking. I have some code that is likely accidentally being called endlessly recursively (oops :-). (I fully understand the recursive problem, it's just a matter of finding the offending callers.) What are the other potential causes of an MCE? (Note: this is _not_ a hardware problem. My code is clearly causing the problem.) Thanks for the tips, ...Duane _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
