Re:sigcontext on Linux-ppc in user space, another hack.

It appears you can just use the siginfo_t * as the struct sigcontext *
!!!!!!
ie
void *signal_handler(int signo, siginfo_t *siginfoptr, struct sigcontext
*scp)
{
     scp = (struct sigcontext_struct *)siginfoptr;
     /* the rest of your code, here */
}

Hi,

Just in case this helps,  here is what I did to accomplish the same thing
in the green_threads jdk.  It definitely is not portable.

Kevin

Inside the signal handler:

#elif defined(__linux__) && defined(__powerpc__)
    /* get the value of r1 (the stack pointer) */
    long * p;
    struct sigcontext_struct * scp;
    __asm__ ( "addi %0,1,0" : "=r" (p) : /* no inputs */ );
    /* follow it back up the chain */
    p = *p;
    /* from here the sigcontext struct is 64 bytes away */
    p = p + 16;
    scp = (struct sigcontext_struct *)p;
