Mark, one of my colleagues, fixed syntax error in your code. That makes the code works on IA-32.

However, above code doesn't compile on Intel 64.  Then I did some further investigation.It looks that REG_EIP only works on IA-32. In /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h, you may see something like this


#if __WORDSIZE == 64
...
enum
{
REG_R8 = 0,
# define REG_R8 REG_R8
REG_R9,
# define REG_R9 REG_R9
REG_R10,
# define REG_R10 REG_R10
REG_R11,
...
REG_RIP,
# define REG_RIP REG_RIP
...
};

#else /* __WORDSIZE == 32 */

enum
{
...
REG_EIP,
# define REG_EIP REG_EIP
REG_CS,
# define REG_CS REG_CS
REG_EFL,
# define REG_EFL REG_EFL
REG_UESP,
# define REG_UESP REG_UESP
REG_SS
# define REG_SS REG_SS
};
#endif


So, on IA-32, REG_EIP is an enum value. But on Intel 64, REG_EIP is not defined.  It seems that you should use REG_RIP instead on Intel 64.  With this modification, t2.cpp compiles.  See below.
