Subject: | Re: gs segment selector points to conventional memory area |
%gs and %fs are not guaranteed to be anything, since any system call may change them. However, the selector used by <sys/farptr.h> is not used anywhere else in the library - the library uses the other one exclusively (we hope) for random purposes.
