Hi,

If Keven's answer didn't solve the problem,
then you'll want to:

   1) print the value of x1:

         (void) printf ("x1 @ $%x\n", (int) x1);

      If the value is in the range $40000000 .. $42000000
      then you're getting some kind of address passed.

      I'd then print the value being (indirectly) passed:

         (void) printf ("x1 --> $%x\n", *x1);

   2) if the above doesn't shed any light on things, then:

         :run myprog; debug
         nm
         findproc testfunc XL
         = testfunc       (to verify that the findproc worked)
         b testfunc
         c

      when you hit the breakpoint at testfunc, do:

         = r26

      It should be an "address" (see #1 above)
