hello, Im doing a stack analysis on AIX/IBM p615 and I find that there are quite a few intermediate stack frames that contain a pc pointing to the data segment (using AIX terminology). Im aware that this is a netbsd forum -but the convention adopted is OS independent (kind of) and hw specific. gdb has some provision to unwind the stack. Can someone explain how one goes about detecting dummy frames and why they exist? thanks -kamal ------------------------------------------------------------ Kamal R.
