Awesome debugging framework implemented in python (with three major supported architectures). Get programmatic access to process debugging functionality all via python with some really useful helper functions. (not just a ptrace/OpenProcess wrapper ;-) Created by InVisigoth of Kenshoto. He isnt planning to make any announcements, so I am doing it for him 'cuz its pretty neat. Check it out:

I cannot find a way to contact "InVisigoth". If you would be so kind as to let me know where I could find him, that would be great.

In case you're wondering why, it's because I fixed a "bug" he had going on that would not allow me to compile vtrace on my 10.4/PPC box. The code is in mach/thread.c:

Code:

...
#ifdef __i386__
#define STATE_TYPE i386_thread_state_t
#endif
...

...and it needs to be changed to...
Code:

#ifdef __i386__
#define STATE_TYPE i386_thread_state_t
#endif
#ifdef __ppc__
#define STATE_TYPE ppc_thread_state_t
#endif


At least, that's what got it compiled for me a few minutes ago. I'd really like to contact him and let him know about this, because there was a "//FIXME" right before this code complaining about picking the right STATE_TYPE per flavor.

Anyways, will install her in a few, and update on whether it appears to be working or not.

EDIT: Guess it's not, it keeps complaining about "DARWIN SUPPORT ISNT DONE". Maybe I should start working on it for a little...

Anyways, the above code will get it to compile and install on Mac OS 10.4.9/PowerPC.
