PalmDebugger and GCC
Trying to use PalmDebugger with GCC... I got some problems ! I always obtain a message Bad line count while loading a xxx.code.1.sym file. Is PalmDebugger design to work with Prc-Tools 2.0 ? But the HandSpring distribution of GCC (0.5 ) comes with PalmDebugger and some new command line options : -mdebug-labels (to turn on a 'Macsbug label' capabilities... ) -mvs-err-msgs (to conform the format of error messages to Visual Studio...) Also, it seems to be possible to use PalmDebugger with GCC and I'm very interesting to using it.

Re: PalmDebugger Suggestion
As the documentation states, PalmDebugger's source level debugging works with the symbolic information in executables compiled with prc-tools. Sadly most versions of PalmDebugger have historically had various bugs that make source level debugging more or less impossible. Well, obviously you can't do source level debugging at all with the PalmDebugger provided by Palm. Handspring's version of PalmDebugger is likely to be the least broken. Trying to install the Handspring tools messed up my whole installation and I could use cygwin/gcc only after I manually cleaned the registry. However with luck you can extract Handspring's PalmDebugger separately from their version of prc-tools and continue to use your modern Cygwin and prc-tools. Yeah, this is what I finally did - and it works indeed! But it is a real pain to do it. I suggest to write these facts down somewhere on http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/gcc/index.html otherwise this newsgroup will further be flooded with questions like how can I get my Debugger work with gcc.

Hi, I've recently downloaded the PalmDebugger from palmos.com. Although the documentation explicitly says that the PalmDebugger only works with gcc/prc-tools it seems that source level debugging is only possible with the Mertowerks toolchain.

Why isn't the modified PalmDebugger available at Palmos.com? You are friends with the Handspring guys, aren't you.

Re: Getting hd 0 in PalmDebugger to report app symbols?
Yea it is. I appreciate it. Ok, here's a question then. After many Gremlins I see a lot of chunks that are unlocked (#0), owned by my app (#2) and have 'fM' set on them, each of which is '0x64 requested bytes' and actually '0x6c alloced bytes" If I dump the memory they contain, it looks like menu items from various menus in my application. Unfortunately, this list just keeps growing and growing. This seems odd because although I do have a bunch of forms and menus, the navigation between them is purely through FrmGotoForm and FrmPopupForm coupled with FrmReturnToForm ... according to the docs, both of these should handle the destruction of menus associated with each form. Yet, it doesn't seem to be the case because I can see menu items leftover from old forms when the app's on a completely different form...

Re: Getting hd 0 in PalmDebugger to report app symbols?
I suppose, but it's nice to have forms that take up 1/2 the screen and still show what you were last viewing. For this FrmPopupForm is truly useful. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't erase the old form immediately like FrmGoto ... in any event, I'll see about explicitly calling FrmClose/Delete and see if that helps.

Just a small FYI for y'all: doing a 'help hd' on the console in both the CodeWarrior debugger and PalmDebugger will provide a description of the symbols in the columns.

How do I get hd 0 to report symbols for my app?

If the owner wasn't "2", its a system object, and if it is "2", then its something dynamically allocated. Sure, one of the chunks is the global variable pool, but the hd display would break that pool up into its constituient chunks. Now, one request I've made to Metrowerks that would be very useful: enhance the debugger to be able to automatically chase handles using an internally captured heapdump -- you see a handle, right click on it, view as palm handle, and now get access to the memory to which it points, even without locking it.

Re: Getting hd 0 in PalmDebugger to report app symbols?
Basically, after 250k Gremlins or so, the app runs out of memory. Unfortunately, quitting the app doesn't prompt any 'Possible Memory Leak' suggestions, but if I look in the hd 0 dump, I see a ton of unmovable allocated memory (if I understand what 'mf' indicates), each on the order of 10 - 30 bytes. I was looking for a way to try to trace down where these might be coming from and this seemed like an idea at first. The problem of course, is that I can't get these to happen with any "casual" usage of the application, so I'm a little stuck. BTW, is there a document that describes all the functions/output of PalmDebugger anyway? Some commands that David Fedor listed at PalmSource aren't actually valid for instance, and while 'help' is useful, it doesn't tell me anything about what command does what.

Trying to use PalmDebugger with GCC... I got some problems ! I always obtain a message "Bad line count" while loading a xxx.code.1.sym file. Is PalmDebugger design to work with Prc-Tools 2.0 ?
