Here's one way to make it work: In the signal handler, you can compare the faulting address to %rip and infer that this was a SIGSEGV caused by a bad function pointer. Then you can special case this (i.e. unwind the inner most frame "manually" -- by changing %rip in the ucontext to the return address pointed to by %rsp). libunwind should be able to do the rest of the work for you. Why not have this code inside of libunwind? The interfaces do so would be icky and this is best done in the signal handler, rather than another library. -Arun _______________________________________________ Libunwind-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libunwind-devel
