I think you'll have better luck consulting the source code, and disassembly to figure out what is on the stack. For the example you've cited, if a given function uses an inode pointer, it shouldn't take but a minute or so to determine where in the stack frame this inode is located. (unless of course it turns out to be in a register only, in which case you have to look for it to be spilled in a subsequent frame) - jim On Sat, 2008-03-01 at 17:38 -0500, Ming Zhang wrote: > Hi All > > When use bt -f to show stack data, I need a quick way to find out what > are these stack data.
