$NetBSD: TODO.ptrace,v 1.31 2019/06/14 16:11:11 kamil Exp $ Items we (currently) plan to finish in the ptrace(2) field: - verify ppid of core dump generated with PT_DUMPCORE it must point to the real parent, not tracer - adapt OpenBSD regress test (regress/sys/ptrace/ptrace.c) for the ATF context - reiterate over FreeBSD tests and add missing ones if applicable - add PT_DUMPCORE tests in the ATF framework - research kevent support for tracing a process over a file descriptor, this means alternative to wait(2)-based events with passing events over the kqueue API - signal handlers are global per application and they clash with GUI toolkits (and perhaps other libraries) - this is long term wishlist in GDB for Linux - the current approach is to fork and debug through GDB remote protocol (this is how it is done in LLDB) - add ATF tests for SIGCHLD - research kgdb(4) and of course: fix as many bugs as possible. Features in ELF, DWARF, CTF, DTrace are out of scope of the above list. |
