It may work by accident, if you're lucky enough for ltrace to land on some instructions that happen to be in the Thumb1 subset that PTRACE_SINGLESTEP supports, and that no SMP races affected the test. But we know that it cannot be reliable as is. > On Wed, Jan 19, 2011, Nicolas Pitre wrote: > > On Wed, 19 Jan 2011, Loïc Minier wrote: > > > > > Hey > > > > > > I think we need to keep an eye on this and be ready to check ltrace if > > > this gets merged > > > > I think ltrace is broken already and needs to be fixed regardless. > > > > Motivations for the removal of PTRACE_SINGLESTEP on ARM are: > > > > 1.)
