| .SH NAME |
| unw_get_fpreg |
| \-\- get contents of floating\-point register |
| .PP |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| |
| .PP |
| #include <libunwind.h> |
| .br |
| .PP |
| int |
| unw_get_fpreg(unw_cursor_t *cp, |
| unw_regnum_t |
| reg, |
| unw_fpreg_t *valp); |
| .br |
| .PP |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| |
| .PP |
| The unw_get_fpreg() |
| routine reads the value of floating\-point |
| register reg |
| in the stack frame identified by cursor cp |
| and stores the value in the variable pointed to by valp\&. |
| .PP |
| The register numbering is target\-dependent and described in separate |
| manual pages (e.g., libunwind\-ia64(3) for the IA\-64 target). |
| Furthermore, the exact set of accessible registers may depend on the |
| type of frame that cp |
| is referring to. For ordinary stack |
| frames, it is normally possible to access only the preserved |
| (``callee\-saved\&'') registers and frame\-related registers (such as the |
| stack\-pointer). However, for signal frames (see |
| unw_is_signal_frame(3)), |
| it is usually possible to access |
| all registers. |
| .PP |
| Note that unw_get_fpreg() |
| can only read the contents of |
| floating\-point registers. See unw_get_fpreg(3) |
| for a way to |
| read registers which fit in a single word. |
| .PP |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| |
| .PP |
| On successful completion, unw_get_fpreg() |
| returns 0. |
| Otherwise the negative value of one of the error\-codes below is |
| returned. |
| .PP |
| .SH THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY |
| |
| .PP |
| unw_get_fpreg() |
| is thread\-safe as well as safe to use |
| from a signal handler. |
| .PP |
| .SH ERRORS |
| |
| .PP |
| .TP |
| UNW_EUNSPEC |
| An unspecified error occurred. |
| .TP |
| UNW_EBADREG |
| An attempt was made to read a register |
| that is either invalid or not accessible in the current frame. |
| .PP |
| In addition, unw_get_fpreg() |
| may return any error returned by |
| the access_mem(), |
| access_reg(), |
| and |
| access_fpreg() |
| call\-backs (see |
| unw_create_addr_space(3)). |
