-
- I am looking for a way to force a program out of execution, and save an image
- of the program that can be restarted from the same point at a later time.
-
- It appears that the gnu unexec() function from gnu emacs will do this; however,
- the last parameter asks for a "starting address."
-
- How can I find this "starting address" (which I want to be the
- current point of execution)? Is this even possible? I am trying to implement
- this on DECstation 5000's.
-
- If anyone has anyone has information on finding this value, or on the
- whole idea in general any help would be much appreciated.
-
- Thanks
- Dave
