Just to clarify: I see Andreas' proposal as a debug tool, notintended to ever be applied to a branch, but to be kept and applied to local developer repositories during debug. It seems you, Wolfgang, are considering this more like a tool that would end up in the u-boot source tree and be e.g. run systematically after a build, even if the builder had no intent of debugging. Am I right? If so, then yes, a tool that would analyze the ELF binary would be a good approach. > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
