GCC: Force a function call after every instruction (for multithreaded testing)?
-

Question
I'm trying to test a rather threading-sensitive area in my program and was wondering if there's a way to force gcc to insert a call after every instruction it emits so that I can manually yield to a different thread?
Thanks, Robert
Solution
No, GCC does not has such an option.
However, you may be able hack together a script that does that job. You can compile your code to assembler using the -S option. Compiler generated assembler is relative easy to parse.
Don't forget to save the flags and all registers inside your debugging code though.
