Is it really a POSIX standard yet? Any link to share, to help someone evaluate the worth value?

comment:2 by bonefish, 11 years ago

ptrace() isn't in POSIX.1-2008 (not even as an optional extension), and AFAIK that's still the current version of the standard.

Apparently the "p" isn't POSIX -- it's just "process" and it's part of Linux. However, it is standard to *nix and *BSD, so it still is a good idea to implement it.

Resolution: → no change required
Status: new → closed

I think at this point there's not much reason to implement ptrace, as the GDB port will just use the native debugger API, and ptrace varies across systems anyway.
