Request for Help

Bharath Thodla — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:39:51 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to create a program that could track the program counter of a process. I have read that the setjmp() API in HP-UX can be used to save the program counter of a executing process/thread. Can someone kindly give me the following examples.

1.Retrieving the thread details of a particular process ID.

2.Retrieving the program counter value for a particular thread in a process.

Thanks and Regards,
Bharath Thodla

What are you really trying to do?
Are you doing this for PA-RISC or Integrity?

None of this info is readily available.

About the only way to get it is to download a the source of gdb and reverse engineer it.

You may also sign up for DSPP and ask:

If you are on IPF, the next release of the compiler (A.06.15) will support:
#include
void *r1 = _Asm_mov_from_ip();
