Description

Component: Core Effort: Medium Impact: Medium

What is the feature you'd like to have?
When I reversing windows kernel internals, often ntoskrnl.exe refers to gsbase register, for windows it points to _KPCR structure. I can change type in one function where it used, but I haven't found feature to change it in every place where it accessed for current image. So, it would be great feature to do, to make kernel analysis easier.
