Montgomery) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: pls help: Context Switching in Irix doesn't work Message-ID: Date: 30 Jan 91 03:40:55 GMT Sender: rxxgpf@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Greg Farrelly) Distribution: comp Organization: RMIT Computer Centre, Melbourne Australia. Lines: 17 We are trying to port some code that does run on other MIPS platforms to the Iris. The assembler that does the context switching seems to be where the problem lies. I have been told that other people have had this problem, and overcame it by "leaving extra space on the stack for interrupts". If anyone feels at all intelligent when confronted by this stuff, or knows of anyone that fits this description, please get me in touch with you/them... The assembler code and a bit of doco for it is available for anyone eager to tackle it! If you think i should post it, then say it. thanx. -- angus@godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au
