    <p>I can imagine a few situations in which one would want to respond to a GPF by parsing the failed instruction, emulating its operation, and then returning to the instruction after. The normal pattern would be to set things up so that the instruction, if retried, would succeed, but one might e.g. have some code that expects to access some hardware at addresses 0x000A0000-0x000AFFFF and wish to run it on a machine that lacks such hardware. In such a situation, one might not want to ever bank in "real" memory in that space, since every single access must be trapped and dealt with separately. I'm not sure whether there's any way to handle that without having to decode whatever instruction was trying to access that memory, although I do know that some virtual-PC programs seem to manage it pretty well.</p> <p>Otherwise, I would suggest that you should have for each thread a jump vector which should be used when the system encounters a GPF. Normally that vector should point to a thread-exit routine, but code which was about to do something "suspicious" with pointers could set it to an error handler that was suitable for that code (the code should unset the vector when laving the region where the error handler would have been appropriate).</p> <p>I can imagine situations where one might want to emulate an instruction without executing it, and cases where one might want to transfer control to an error-handler routine, but I can't imagine any where one would want to simply skip over an instruction that would have caused a GPF.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
