(It is not a good practise to do it. But, I need to check this out as it was done in ia32.....) Probably, it is possible. I just wanted to see whether there are any issues one should be aware of other than serialization/flushing. There are couple of pages of documentation regarding self-modifying code in one of the ia64 software developers manual. I am curious whether there are any other notes/writeups or sample code where similar kind of things are done in ia64 linux. I really appreciate if some one can direct me to such doc or code (if they exist) which can give some more ia64 specific information. Thank you very much in advance.
