Okay, but then I don't know how to properly fix this given that
thr_p{read,write}_long() still seem to do the wrong thing as they
supply sizeof(long) rather than the size of a long on the target
to thr_p{read,write}() as the size of the value in the target
address space. If I change the callers of thr_pread_long() to
supply a uint64_t this will compile but it still does the wrong
thing in the cross-debugging case and I can't even think of how
to fix that without additional information about the target, i.e.
just using sizeof(uint64_t) obviously also is the wrong thing.
Both thr_p{read,write}_ptr() are similarly confusing as they take
a psaddr_t which is defined as uint64_t but use sizeof(void *)
which again is specific to the host rather tan the target.
Do you have a suggestion how to fix these?
