UNW_SET_FPREG(3)             Programming Library              UNW_SET_FPREG(3)

NAME
       unw_set_fpreg -- set contents of floating-point register

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libunwind.h>

       int unw_set_fpreg(unw_cursor_t *cp, unw_regnum_t reg, unw_fpreg_t val);

DESCRIPTION
       The unw_set_fpreg() routine sets the value of register reg in the stack
       frame identified by cursor cp to the value passed in val.

       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_set_fpreg() can only write the contents of floating-point
       registers. See unw_set_reg(3) for a way to write registers which fit in
       a single word.

RETURN VALUE
       On  successful  completion,  unw_set_fpreg()  returns 0.  Otherwise the
       negative value of one of the error-codes below is returned.

THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY
       unw_set_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 write a register that is either invalid
              or not accessible in the current frame.

       UNW_EREADONLY
               An attempt was made to write to a read-only register.

       In addition, unw_set_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)).
