Re: [RFA] Submit process record and replay third time, 3/9
Hi Pedro,
Do you think I need change:
if (record_debug > 1)
{
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog,
"Process record: record_arch_list_add 0x%s.\n",
paddr_nz ((CORE_ADDR)rec));
}
to:
if (record_debug > 1)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog,
"Process record: record_arch_list_add 0x%s.\n",
paddr_nz ((CORE_ADDR)rec));
Thanks,
Hui
