Re: GCC's instrumentation and the target environment

2019-11-20 Thread David Taylor
Sorry for not responding sooner. Thanks Martin. Like Joel we have a third party solution to instrumentation. Part of my objection to the third party solution is freedom. There are customizations we would like, but not having source we're at the mercy of the vendor both for whether it gets done

GCC's instrumentation and the target environment

2019-11-01 Thread David Taylor
I wish to use GCC based instrumentation on an embedded target. And I am finding that GCC's libgcov.a is not well suited to my needs. Ideally, all the application entry points and everthing that knows about the internals of the implementation would be in separate files from everything that does i/

Sorry for the late reply. Your message never arrived in my mailbox. I suspect that corporate email has swallowed it for some stupid reason. I'm replying to a copy I found in the mailing list archives at gcc dot gnu dot org. Hopefully I didn't screw up the editing. From: Richard Biener

2013-01-03 Thread David Taylor
What is the status of STABS support? I know that there is considerably more activity around DWARF than STABS. It appears that STABS is largely in maintenance mode. Are there any plans to deprecate STABS support? If STABS enhancements were made and posted would they be frowned upon? Or would the

modified x86 ABI

2007-10-22 Thread David Taylor
At EMC we have a version of GCC which targets the x86 with a non standard ABI -- it produces code for 64 bit mode mode, but with types having the 32 bit ABI sizes. So, ints, longs, and pointers are 32 bits -- that is, it's ILP32 rather than LP64 -- but with the chip in 64 bit mode. Actually, poin
