Well, I've patched the SYS_exit syscall and ran this program: int main(...) { unsigned long * ohlala=NULL; *ohlala=NULL; } I have not seen an exit call. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Is there a specific syscall called when a process crash? Are you sure that exit() in the kernel is not called? If this were not the case, we'd be leaking file entries, memory, and other resources. But maybe it's because there's no exit at the end of the code. The previous answer is confusing me right now. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
