Hello, I am interested in starting an open source tool for msp430 development, specifically to perform static, whole elf analysis to investigate stack usage. Such a tool can identify maximum stack depth of each function and also find the maximum stack usage of an entire executable.
I have a tool which I wrote and use personally but it is limited and specifically coded for the custom link setup I use for my company's products, so I wish to start from scratch. Before I begin I just wanted to check that I wasn't reinventing the wheel. How I have done it in the past was by parsing the output of the disassembler, building a graph of function calls and then analysing each function for instructions which modify the stack. Would I be better off trying to insert this functionality into the compiler/linker/disassembler itself? I have a feeling this would be a lot more complicated. I plan on using C++. Any comments are welcome.
