tl;dr; if you want a backtrace with symbols when running the eval.l version of
maru take a look at the script below
I love reading through x86 assembly as much as the next hacker but as I've
found myself playing around in eval.l and introducing segfaults it's a little
slow to figure out where I went wrong.
I first started going down the path of changing emit.l to support Dwarf debug
symbols but quickly realized how much of a pointless rathole that was.
Thankfully, we generate the assembly and comment it nicely. So I wrote a little
script to go from gdb backtraces to symbol traces.
e.g.
In your gdb session:
% gdb eval
> r test.l
> ...
> bt
#0 0x00ba1224 in ?? ()
#1 0x0002142d in __L__2865 ()
#2 0x00021860 in __L__2889 ()
#3 0x0002122b in __L__2856 ()
#4 0x000216a2 in __L__2877 ()
#5 0x00006671 in __L__357 ()
#6 0x00004bb7 in __L__223 ()
#7 0x00002145 in start ()
In another terminal
% gdb-bt maru-eval.s "#0 0x00ba1224 in ?? ()
#1 0x0002142d in __L__2865 ()
#2 0x00021860 in __L__2889 ()
#3 0x0002122b in __L__2856 ()
#4 0x000216a2 in __L__2877 ()
#5 0x00006671 in __L__357 ()
#6 0x00004bb7 in __L__223 ()
#7 0x00002145 in start ()"
-------------
