Hi, there Netfolks:
Any one have any ideas how one can do the following in C:-
(1) find the bottom and the top of a processes stack.
(2) read the information on stack.
(3) copy the stack to disk ala core dump, as a way of saving the
process context.
(4) write to the stack (i.e grow the stack and place return addresses and
automatic variables (initialized), etc, on it.
I would like to prime a processes stack, so a process can begin from somewhere
in the middle of its address space (in some special function, rather than the
in the main) and unwind the stack in the usual way when the special function returns)
