Hi Matthias, Thank you so much for your pretty cool 0001-Fix-invalid-initialization-in-new.patch http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/pipermail/l4-hackers/2017/008005.html Jean taught me about how to debug L4Re using jdb in qemu http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/pipermail/l4-hackers/2017/008038.html it used a on purpose bug (null ptr deref) to crash Ned, then L4Re thrown: unhandled write page fault at 0x0 pc=0x100398d, and addr2line ... -e ned -a 100398d to indicate the root cause line. But how to find out the root cause if unclear that which components bring in the issue? just like Jean investigated why framebuffer-example-x86 failed to work, actually it is not init process issue, but Fiasco `_quota` member of a thread is not correctly initialized. 0001-Fix-invalid-initialization-in-new.patch is awesome! how to debug deepinto it? it might be easy to a maintainer of Fiasco kernel, but it is really magic to me :) The same story is how to debug L4Linux? http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/pipermail/l4-hackers/2017/008047.html please give me some advice, thanks a lot! -- Regards, Leslie Zhai - a LLVM hacker https://reviews.llvm.org/p/xiangzhai/
