Following the disussion around the fact that the name of the function used to allocate some memory in the inferior is hard-coded to "malloc" (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-09/msg00079.html), here is a proposed addition to the architecture vector. Is it the right thing to do to handle the interix case where the malloc function should be "_malloc"? Is "NAME_OF_MALLOC" ok, or would we prefer a different name? Also, I did not find much documentation on each field for the line I added in gdbarch.sh. So I kind of reversed engineered it by reading the script code. So if you find anything I missed, this might explain it... 2002-09-12 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@gnat.com> * gdbarch.sh (NAME_OF_MALLOC): New variable in the architecture vector. Will be useful for Interix. * gdbarch.h, gdbarch.c: Regenerate. * valops.c (value_allocate_space_in_inferior): Replace hard-coded name of the malloc function by NAME_OF_MALLOC. Ok to apply? Thanks, -- Joel
