UNW_GET_FPREG(3) Programming Library UNW_GET_FPREG(3)
NAME
unw_get_fpreg -- get contents of floating-point register
SYNOPSIS
#include <libunwind.h>
int unw_get_fpreg(unw_cursor_t *cp, unw_regnum_t reg, unw_fpreg_t
*valp);
DESCRIPTION
The unw_get_fpreg() routine reads the value of floating-point register
reg in the stack frame identified by cursor cp and stores the value in
the variable pointed to by valp.
The register numbering is target-dependent and described in separate
manual pages (e.g., libunwind-ia64(3) for the IA-64 target). Further-
more, the exact set of accessible registers may depend on the type of
frame that cp is referring to. For ordinary stack frames, it is nor-
mally possible to access only the preserved (``callee-saved'') regis-
ters and frame-related registers (such as the stack-pointer). However,
for signal frames (see unw_is_signal_frame(3)), it is usually possible
to access all registers.
Note that unw_get_fpreg() can only read the contents of floating-point
registers. See unw_get_fpreg(3) for a way to read registers which fit
in a single word.
RETURN VALUE
On successful completion, unw_get_fpreg() returns 0. Otherwise the
negative value of one of the error-codes below is returned.
THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY
unw_get_fpreg() is thread-safe as well as safe to use from a signal
handler.
ERRORS
UNW_EUNSPEC
An unspecified error occurred.
UNW_EBADREG
An attempt was made to read a register that is either invalid
or not accessible in the current frame.
In addition, unw_get_fpreg() may return any error returned by the ac-
cess_mem(), access_reg(), and access_fpreg() call-backs (see unw_cre-
ate_addr_space(3)).
