The +byteorder +can be set to 0 to request the default byte\-order of +the unwind target. To request a particular byte\-order, +byteorder +can be set to any constant defined by +<endian.h>\&. +In particular, __LITTLE_ENDIAN +would +request little\-endian byte\-order and __BIG_ENDIAN +would +request big\-endian byte\-order. Whether or not a particular byte\-order +is supported depends on the target platform. +.PP +.SH CALL\-BACK ROUTINES + +.PP +Libunwind +uses a set of call\-back routines to access the +information it needs to unwind a chain of stack\-frames. These +routines are specified via the ap +argument, which points to a +variable of type unw_accessors_t\&. +The contents of this +variable is copied into the newly\-created address space, so the +variable must remain valid only for the duration of the call to +unw_create_addr_space(). +.PP +The first argument to every call\-back routine is an address\-space +identifier (as) +and the last argument is an arbitrary, +application\-specified void\-pointer (arg). +When invoking a +call\-back routine, libunwind +sets the as +argument to the +address\-space on whose behalf the invocation is made and the arg +argument to the value that was specified when +unw_init_remote(3) +was called. +.PP +The synopsis and a detailed description of every call\-back routine +follows below. +.PP +.SS CALL\-BACK ROUTINE SYNOPSIS +.PP +int +find_proc_info(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_word_t +ip, +unw_proc_info_t *pip, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPint +need_unwind_info, +void *arg); +.br +void +put_unwind_info(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_proc_info_t *pip, +void *arg); +.br +int +get_dyn_info_list_addr(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_word_t *dilap, +void *arg); +.br +int +access_mem(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_word_t +addr, +unw_word_t *valp, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPint +write, +void *arg); +.br +int +access_reg(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_regnum_t +regnum, +unw_word_t *valp, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPint +write, +void *arg); +.br +int +access_fpreg(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_regnum_t +regnum, +unw_fpreg_t *fpvalp, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPint +write, +void *arg); +.br +int +resume(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_cursor_t *cp, +void *arg); +.br +int +get_proc_name(unw_addr_space_t +as, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPunw_word_t +addr, +char *bufp, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPsize_t +buf_len, +unw_word_t *offp, +.br +\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fP\fB \fPvoid *arg); +.br +.PP +.SS FIND_PROC_INFO +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the find_proc_info() +call\-back to +locate the information need to unwind a particular procedure. The +ip +argument is an instruction\-address inside the procedure whose +information is needed. The pip +argument is a pointer to the +variable used to return the desired information. The type of this +variable is unw_proc_info_t\&. +See +unw_get_proc_info(3) +for details. Argument +need_unwind_info +is zero if the call\-back does not need to +provide values for the following members in the +unw_proc_info_t +structure: format, +unwind_info_size, +and unwind_info\&. +If +need_unwind_info +is non\-zero, valid values need to be returned +in these members. Furthermore, the contents of the memory addressed +by the unwind_info +member must remain valid until the info is +released via the put_unwind_info +call\-back (see below). +.PP +On successful completion, the find_proc_info() +call\-back must +return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of the +unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SS PUT_UNWIND_INFO +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the put_unwind_info() +call\-back to +release the resources (such as memory) allocated by a previous call to +find_proc_info() +with the need_unwind_info +argument +set to a non\-zero value. The pip +argument has the same value as +the argument of the same name in the previous matching call to +find_proc_info(). +Note that libunwind +does \fInot\fP +invoke put_unwind_info +for calls to find_proc_info() +with a zero need_unwind_info +argument. +.PP +.SS GET_DYN_INFO_LIST_ADDR +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the get_dyn_info_list_addr() +call\-back to obtain the address of the head of the dynamic unwind\-info +registration list. The variable stored at the returned address must +have a type of unw_dyn_info_list_t +(see +_U_dyn_register(3)). +The dliap +argument is a pointer +to a variable of type unw_word_t +which is used to return the +address of the dynamic unwind\-info registration list. If no dynamic +unwind\-info registration list exist, the value pointed to by +dliap +must be cleared to zero. Libunwind +will cache the +value returned by get_dyn_info_list_addr() +if caching is +enabled for the given address\-space. The cache can be cleared with a +call to unw_flush_cache(). +.PP +On successful completion, the get_dyn_info_list_addr() +call\-back must return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of +the unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SS ACCESS_MEM +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the access_mem() +call\-back to read +from or write to a word of memory in the target address\-space. The +address of the word to be accessed is passed in argument addr\&. +To read memory, libunwind +sets argument write +to zero and +valp +to point to the word that receives the read value. To +write memory, libunwind +sets argument write +to a non\-zero +value and valp +to point to the word that contains the value to +be written. The word that valp +points to is always in the +byte\-order of the host\-platform, regardless of the byte\-order of the +target. In other words, it is the responsibility of the call\-back +routine to convert between the target\&'s and the host\&'s byte\-order, if +necessary. +.PP +On successful completion, the access_mem() +call\-back must return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of +the unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SS ACCESS_REG +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the access_reg() +call\-back to read +from or write to a scalar (non\-floating\-point) CPU register. The +index of the register to be accessed is passed in argument +regnum\&. +To read a register, libunwind +sets argument +write +to zero and valp +to point to the word that receives +the read value. To write a register, libunwind +sets argument +write +to a non\-zero value and valp +to point to the word +that contains the value to be written. The word that valp +points to is always in the byte\-order of the host\-platform, regardless +of the byte\-order of the target. In other words, it is the +responsibility of the call\-back routine to convert between the +target\&'s and the host\&'s byte\-order, if necessary. +.PP +On successful completion, the access_reg() +call\-back must +return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of the +unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SS ACCESS_FPREG +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the access_fpreg() +call\-back to read +from or write to a floating\-point CPU register. The index of the +register to be accessed is passed in argument regnum\&. +To read a +register, libunwind +sets argument write +to zero and +fpvalp +to point to a variable of type unw_fpreg_t +that +receives the read value. To write a register, libunwind +sets +argument write +to a non\-zero value and fpvalp +to point to +the variable of type unw_fpreg_t +that contains the value to +be written. The word that fpvalp +points to is always in the +byte\-order of the host\-platform, regardless of the byte\-order of the +target. In other words, it is the responsibility of the call\-back +routine to convert between the target\&'s and the host\&'s byte\-order, if +necessary. +.PP +On successful completion, the access_fpreg() +call\-back must +return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of the +unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SS RESUME +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the resume() +call\-back to resume +execution in the target address space. Argument cp +is the +unwind\-cursor that identifies the stack\-frame in which execution +should resume. By the time libunwind +invokes the resume +call\-back, it has already established the desired machine\- and +memory\-state via calls to the access_reg(), +access_fpreg, +and access_mem() +call\-backs. Thus, all +the call\-back needs to do is perform whatever action is needed to +actually resume execution. +.PP +The resume +call\-back is invoked only in response to a call to +unw_resume(3), +so applications which never invoke +unw_resume(3) +need not define the resume +callback. +.PP +On successful completion, the resume() +call\-back must return +zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of the +unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. As a special case, +when resuming execution in the local address space, the call\-back will +not return on success. +.PP +.SS GET_PROC_NAME +.PP +Libunwind +invokes the get_proc_name() +call\-back to +obtain the procedure\-name of a static (not dynamically generated) +procedure. Argument addr +is an instruction\-address within the +procedure whose name is to be obtained. The bufp +argument is a +pointer to a character\-buffer used to return the procedure name. The +size of this buffer is specified in argument buf_len\&. +The +returned name must be terminated by a NUL character. If the +procedure\&'s name is longer than buf_len +bytes, it must be +truncated to buf_len\-1 +bytes, with the last byte in the +buffer set to the NUL character. Otherwise, the last byte in the +buffer must be set to a non\-NUL character. This makes it possible to +quickly test whether the name may have been truncated by testing the +whether the last byte in the buffer is NUL. Argument offp +is a +pointer to a word which is used to return the byte\-offset relative to +the start of the procedure whose name is being returned. For example, +if procedure foo() +starts at address 0x40003000, then invoking +get_proc_name() +with addr +set to 0x40003080 should +return a value of 0x80 in the word pointed to by offp +(assuming +the procedure is at least 0x80 bytes long). +.PP +On successful completion, the get_proc_name() +call\-back must +return zero. Otherwise, the negative value of one of the +unw_error_t +error\-codes may be returned. +.PP +.SH RETURN VALUE + +.PP +On successful completion, unw_create_addr_space() +returns a +non\-NULL +value that represents the newly created +address\-space. Otherwise, NULL +is returned. +.PP +.SH THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY + +.PP +unw_create_addr_space() +is thread\-safe but \fInot\fP +safe to use from a signal handler. +.PP +.SH SEE ALSO + +.PP +_U_dyn_register(3), +libunwind(3), +unw_destroy_addr_space(3), +unw_get_proc_info(3), +unw_init_remote(3), +unw_resume(3) +.PP +.SH AUTHOR + +.PP +David Mosberger\-Tang +.br +Hewlett\-Packard Labs +.br +Palo\-Alto, CA 94304 +.br +Email: \fBdavidm@hpl.hp.com\fP +.br +WWW: \fBhttp://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/libunwind/\fP\&. +.\" NOTE: This file is generated, DO NOT EDIT. |
