Re: [patch/RFA] multiarch INSTRUCTION_NULLIFIED
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 09:49:37 -0800
From: Randolph Chung <randolph@tausq.org>
i did some more investigations.... turns out this is not a cosmetic
piece of code at all :)
suppose we have a function that ended with a branch-with-nullify-next
instruction back to the caller. if you did a "step" on the branch, and
we don't skip the nullified instruction, we would end up on the
nullified instruction which actually belongs to the next function.
comments? ok to check in?
OK, if you make sure you wrap the lines that are too long.
