accessing stacked FPU state in 32-bit SIGFPE handler?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



What is the approved way of accessing the stacked FPU state from a
SIGFPE handler (sigaction + SA_SIGINFO) in a 32-bit process?  I need
to update parts of that state.

The third parameter to the handler is a sigcontext pointer, but the
struct ends just before the stacked fpu_save pointer.  Also, the type
that fpu_save points to doesn't appear to be defined by glibc's headers.

I could duplicate the kernel's types (32-bit __siginfo_fpu_t and struct
rt_signal_frame), but that feels a bit unsafe unless there's a statement
that they form a de-facto ABI.
