Re: patch to add QNX NTO i386 support


Hi Andrew,

Sorry it took so long to reply - I took a couple days to do a port of a
vxworks lib for a BSP we're working on.

Question: can I make any assumption about the initialization of the
target_ops vector?  It looks like infrun.c wants HAVE_CONTINUABLE_BREAKPOINT
to default to zero but I didn't see anywhere int target.[ch] that ops were
being initialized.

cheers,

Kris
