In the mean time, we got basic debugging working. There's one problem
left I'm not sure how to solve though. In the DWARF compilation unit
header, you have to record the start and the end address of the code in
that compilation unit (= object file). We currently do this by inserting
a ".text" section at the start of the object file with a start label,
and one at the end of the object file with an end label.
On Win32 however, we don't put any code in a plain ".text" section. We
put all code is sections called like ".text.n_p$test_proc" and
".text.n__main". The linker script afterwards groups all .text*
sections, but it puts the plain ".text" sections first. As a result, all
these start and end labels end up at exactly the same location: at the
very beginning of the code section of the entire application, rather
than at the individual start and end addresses of the code from the
individual object files.
I don't immediately see how to fix this. Maybe be we can put those
labels at the start and end of the al_procedures assembler lists for
Windows, but I don't know whether we never put .text* sections in any
other assembler lists.
--- From the DRAWF2 spec ----------------------
The compilation unit entry may have the following attributes:
1.A DW_AT_low_pc attribute whose value is the relocated address of the first
machine instruction generated for that compilation unit.
2.A DW_AT_high_pc attribute whose value is the relocated address of the
first location past the last machine instruction generated for that
compilation unit. The address may be beyond the last valid instruction
in the executable, of course, for this and other similar attributes.
The presence of low and high pc attributes in a compilation unit entry
imply that the code generated for that compilation unit is contiguous
and exists totally within the boundaries specified by those two
attributes. If that is not the case, no low and high pc attributes
should be produced.
--- From the DRAWF# spec ----------------------
Either a DW_AT_low_pc and DW_AT_high_pc pair of attributes or a
DW_AT_ranges attribute whose values encode the contiguous or
non-contiguous address ranges, respectively, of the machine instructions
generated for the compilation unit.
A DW_AT_low_pc attribute may also be specified in combination with
DW_AT_ranges to specify the default base address for use in location
lists and range lists.
------------------------------------------------
If we cannot solve this, in case of DWARF2 i think we can leave those
attributes out. And in case of DWARF3 I think we can use ranges to
specify each section.
