|I am familiar with the most kernel structures (actually i am digging
|with adb into crash files many times), but didn't find any appropriate.
|
|Application are 3rd party, all runs on a host itself. They're very
|complex (about 400-500 java processes).
|Most of the time i am successfull finding one (with truss -p <assume
|pid> and moving mouse over that window produce a massive
|lwp_mutexes...), but I am pretty sure XServer has that structure
|somewhere, if not in their temporary files, it must have some kernel
|process window tree...
As I said, the X servers on Solaris do have that in memory, but there's
no way to get it out other than via poking in the X server process
memory with a debugger or similar tool. It's in the user-space process,
not the kernel, and you'ld need the X server structure definitions from
the source code, since they're not in header files shipped with the
system.
