- Subject: [rfc][0/3] Remote core file generation
Hello,
the following series of patches enables the "generate-core-file" command
on remote targets as well. It consists of three parts:
- a BFD patch to enable helper routines on non-native targets
- a patch to create core file notes for remote targets
- a patch to retrieve the memory region list for remote targets
I've tested the implementation against a arm-linux-gnueabi
target, and it seems to work; in particular the gcore related
tests all pass.
At this point, I'm posting this primarily to get some feedback
about implementation choices, see the other emails for details.
Thanks,
Ulrich
