The main problem I remember are the functions fixup and profile_fixup. They are not used during profiling (wel, they could but probably nobody did so far). The assembly code in sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h depends on the values coming in in parameters. But I admit it's hard and ugly to fix it. The first parameter for both functions is a pointer. One could possibly mark these pointers __unbounded but this is ugly as well. I don't know in the moment whether there are other place where regparms is assumed. Ther might be and you will find them easily by having programs crash. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
