232 On FreeBSD 5.2, libsigsegv works best if the /proc filesystem is mounted.
233 (It is not mounted by default.)
236 Porting to new platforms
237 ========================
239 On Unix systems, where faults are notified to the program through a signal
240 handler, the core routines in handler-unix.c can be used without
241 modifications. But they need the following bits of information. Each of
242 them is stored in a platform dependent file; the file is chosen in configure.
244 * List of signals that are sent when an invalid virtual memory address
245 is accessed, or when the stack overflows.
246 This is a file among signals-*.h.
247 configure chooses and sets the variable CFG_SIGNALS.
249 * What arguments are passed to a fault handler.
250 This is a file among fault-*.h.
251 configure chooses and sets the variable CFG_FAULT.
253 * How to determine the stack's virtual memory area.
254 This is a file among stackvma-*.c.
255 configure chooses and sets the variable CFG_STACKVMA.
257 * How to leave a signal handler that is executing on the alternate
259 This is a file among leave-*.c.
260 configure chooses and sets the variable CFG_LEAVE.
262 For each of these, the approach should be:
264 - Find a way to implement the needed functionality. This might involve
265 study of the system include files (in particular <signal.h> and
266 <ucontext.h>) and of the kernel sources.
267 For CFG_FAULT, the best starting point is to run the tests/sigsegv1
268 program with a breakpoint set at 'sigsegv_handler'.
270 - Add to configure.in a test whether your new code works. This will
271 help portability to platforms similar to yours.
272 Then regenerate the configure script (run "autoconf") and verify
273 that the test says "yes" on your platform.
275 - Create a platform dependent file (e.g. fault-<os>-<cpu>.h) and change
276 configure.in to choose this particular file when your test says "yes".
277 Then regenerate the configure script (run "autoconf").
279 - Verify that "make" and "make check" pass.
281 For non-Unix systems, a separate handler-<os>.c is likely to be needed.
