Is there plan for port of Self to Windows NT machine?
-- sehyo chang
Self is currently limited to the Sparc machines, and the Sun pages describe the only usable implementation.
I think there is a nice FAQ in the pages at the Brown University (see the related projects page at Sun).
The implementation I am doing will run on Linux, but that is still many months away.

I have been using Self on Solaris 2.5 for a while now. I just tried it on one of the 2.6 builds, and it fails with the following information.
toe [vm]% uname -a SunOS toe 5.6 s297_26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 toe [vm]% ./Snapshot ld.so.1: Self: fatal: relocation error: file Self: symbol __malloc_lock: referenced symbol not found Killed toe [vm]%
It turns out that the __malloc_lock symbol is not global anymore. So it looks like the currently available Self binaries will not work on the latest version of Solaris. Is this fixable?

Good news on this problem. It seems that Purify also references __malloc_lock and fails under the beta version of Solaris 2.6. This may mean that the final version of 2.6 libc.so will not hide the __malloc_lock variable. If you are a Sun employee, I can send you the bugtraq number.
