Yes, that is what the armcc linker does, the final executable has an ordinary set of sections, no section groups, no surprises. One thing that puzzles me though is: given two .debug_info and two .debug_line not in any section group, how do the armcc tools associate the right debug_line with each .debug_info? Another is about .debug_abbrev being in a section group, but applying (apparently) to ALL .debug_info. Confusing. The compiler involved is not gcc (generating this object file). Here is the producer string from a hex dump of one .debug_info section: Component: ARM Compiler 5.06 update 1(build 61) Tool: armcc [4d35ad] DavidA There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. -- Steve Ballmer _______________________________________________ Dwarf-Discuss mailing list Dwarf-Discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org http://lists.dwarfstd.org/listinfo.cgi/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org
