Debug information format. jacob@jacob.remcomp.fr (1998-06-18)

Keywords: debug, question

I would like to generate more detailed info than is available in the
NB09 format (Microsoft CodeView) Specifically,
1)
I would like that the debugger of lcc-win32 could have information
about columns, and not only line numbers. For instance:
for (i=0; i<10;i++) { if (somefn(i)) b=foo(); else b = 56;}
With only line number info the debugger is unable to trace that.
2)
I would like to include the line number of a symbol's definition and the
file it is defined in, so the debugger could point the user to that place
without calling the compiler.
3)
Data dependencies: variable b depends on (somefn(i)), foo().


Anybody here knows of a better debug format?


Thanks in advance.
