When a program dumps core that is using SSE or MMX resisters the core file contains note sections for these registers. ".reg-xfp" The version of GDB doesnt seem to recognize these note sections. ---------- Action by: markgross attached is some test code.

FROM Elena.... > Can you tell me if Bug 82640 in QU2 fixes bug 83412 "core files don't > show extended floating point registers (RH9)? > No, the fix for 82640 was a change to glibc (an older version of glibc). It has no relation to 83412. elena
Any status on whether this is fixed in latest RHL 8.0, 9 errata...
Ping....
Seems to be working correctly for mmx registers and floating point registers. Please use 'info float' and 'info vector'. Fixed in the current gdb version: 5.3.90-0.20030710.3rh I am closing this bug.
