This is what I've do in order to improve rpctrace with msg characters names:
* I've searched out much header files in order find out if in some structure
character name is reposrted, but I ve found noone.
* I've understand that in mach and hurd structures rpc msgs are indexed used
ONLY unsigned integer.
* I've found a fine named subsystems in main hurd source directory wich
contain base unsigned integer for all subsystems rpc msgs and in some other sources
I've read which anyone of them contain 200 spaces for procedures, functions and so on.
* In any other file I've not found hardcoded rpc unsigned integer name.
* So I think is mig which generate this number and hardcode it in output file
which will be linked whit other souces (clients and server)
* So I think two solutions:
* generate in mach and hurd build time a file in /etc (maybe /etc/rpc)
with unsigned integer name <-> character name translations.
* in rpctrace build parse file generated by mig and hardcode
translation (unsigned integer VS characters names.
What do you think? This could be right? If yes, IMHO the best solutions is firs one
(create a index file in /etc)
I'm wait for suggestions.
bye and thank you in advance
