extensions.c module for direct stack access

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

	I have created a module for the extensions.c in a 1.8.0beta3 
release of the server that fulfills a couple of requests I have seen on 
this list recently.  It provides a list of all variables in all stack 
frames of a given task, including the current one--allowing access to the 
variables defined in a task in the #0 traceback-handler.  It also allows 
variables to be undefined or altered in any frame of any task, including 
the current one.  The latter two features are wiz-only for tasks besides the 
current one--I am sure that security holes would be introduced otherwise.
	The documentation and extensions.c file can be found at
