That is the character which <small>GDB</small> uses to tell the +remote system to stop. +</p> +<p>Getting the debugging target to return the proper status to <small>GDB</small> +probably requires changes to the standard stub; one quick and dirty way +is to just execute a breakpoint instruction (the “dirty” part is that +<small>GDB</small> reports a <code>SIGTRAP</code> instead of a <code>SIGINT</code>). +</p> +<p>Other routines you need to supply are: +</p> +<dl compact="compact"> +<dt><code>void exceptionHandler (int <var>exception_number</var>, void *<var>exception_address</var>)</code></dt> +<dd><a name="index-exceptionHandler"></a> +<p>Write this function to install <var>exception_address</var> in the exception +handling tables. You need to do this because the stub does not have any +way of knowing what the exception handling tables on your target system +are like (for example, the processor’s table might be in <small>ROM</small>, +containing entries which point to a table in <small>RAM</small>). +The <var>exception_number</var> specifies the exception which should be changed; +its meaning is architecture-dependent (for example, different numbers +might represent divide by zero, misaligned access, etc). When this +exception occurs, control should be transferred directly to +<var>exception_address</var>, and the processor state (stack, registers, +and so on) should be just as it is when a processor exception occurs. So if +you want to use a jump instruction to reach <var>exception_address</var>, it +should be a simple jump, not a jump to subroutine. +</p> +<p>For the 386, <var>exception_address</var> should be installed as an interrupt +gate so that interrupts are masked while the handler runs. The gate +should be at privilege level 0 (the most privileged level). The +<small>SPARC</small> and 68k stubs are able to mask interrupts themselves without +help from <code>exceptionHandler</code>. +</p> +</dd> +<dt><code>void flush_i_cache()</code></dt> +<dd><a name="index-flush_005fi_005fcache"></a> +<p>On <small>SPARC</small> and <small>SPARCLITE</small> only, write this subroutine to flush the +instruction cache, if any, on your target machine. If there is no +instruction cache, this subroutine may be a no-op. +</p> +<p>On target machines that have instruction caches, <small>GDB</small> requires this +function to make certain that the state of your program is stable. +</p></dd> +</dl> + +<p>You must also make sure this library routine is available: +</p> +<dl compact="compact"> +<dt><code>void *memset(void *, int, int)</code></dt> +<dd><a name="index-memset"></a> +<p>This is the standard library function <code>memset</code> that sets an area of +memory to a known value.
