Hello i have been working on a small application named 'Examine'. Its features are basically 3 tools:
1) 'memcheck' (same name than valgrind's tool): a memory leak detector with some memory checks for Windows, 2) 'depends': a PE file dependency viewer (CLI and GUI) ala dependency walker, 3) 'view': a PE file viewer to view the data values of the PE file. Both 'depends' and 'view' tools can be run on Windows and Linux (and any UNIX I think as Idon't use anything Linux-specific) but the 'memcheck' tool can only run on Windows. The source code is hosted on github: https://github.com/vtorri/examine It is a Work In Progress (tm) so it's not complete and certainly have some bugs that I am not aware of. If you want to give it a try, follow the instructions below. INSTALLATION 1) Windows: I've tested only with MSYS + win-builds If gcc is installed in /opt/windows_64: CFLAGS="-g -O0" ./configure --with-libbfd-prefix=/opt/windows_64 (./autogen.sh instead of ./configure, the first time) then make && make install 2) Linux: ./configure make && make install USAGE 1) 'memcheck' tool Of course it can not be run on Linux (use valgrind on linux...). The usage is like valgrind: examine the_app.exe the_app_arguments the_app.exe should be compiled with -g -O0 to have a useful backtrace. I use libbfd to get the backtrace (-On with n >0 adds -fomit-frame-pointer) The output mimics the valgrind output. Currently supported functions: malloc, calloc, realloc, free, HeapAlloc and HeapFree. More will be added soon I have provided a test example, named examine_test : examine /usr/local/examine_test With that test, the output is the following (mimic also the valgrind ouptput) : http://codepad.org/uRR1HnYm 2) 'depends' tool It tries to mimic Dependency Walker you have 3 possible outputs: a) text output, with the dependecy tree: examine -q --tool=depends pe_file It should work on Windows and linux b) text output, with the dependency list (like ldd): examine -q --tool=depends --list pe_file It should work on Windows and linux c) GUI output, with a GUI which mimics Dependency Walker examine -q --tool=depends --gui pe_file The GUI is not perfect and should actually not be tried right now (it can be very very slow) 2) 'view' tool It views the content of a PE file examine -q --tool=view pe_file It should work on Windows and Linux. There is also a GUI but not really finished yet Feel free to give remarks, ideas, etc... thank you Vincent Torri ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
