This is finding-defaults in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 18-Aug-1989 20:41:03 From: Unknown Subject: finding defaults i worked out the following strategy for tracking down which defaults an application reads. it's more reliable and much less painful than reading through a 'strings' listing... a) 'gdb <application>' b) 'break NXRegisterDefaults' (or 'break 0x6066220', if there are no symbols) c) 'run' d) when it hits the break, try 'x/4wx $sp'. if third word is zero, 'cont' e) 'p {char *}0xZZZZ@24', where 0xZZZZ is the fourth word displayed by the previous operation (if that doesn't get them all, increase the 24)
