[fpc-devel] RTL StackTrace patch
Hi to all, I'm writing a patch to can use an external .dbg file during the debugging process. All works fine but when an unhandled exception is raised the RTL show stacktrace without debug info (no sources line). How I can instruct the RTL to search the debug symbols in a project.dbg file (if not found in the executable)? -- Best regards...

You can find those units in fpc\rtl\inc. See http://sourceware.org/gdb/download/onlinedocs/gdb_16.html#SEC154 how to find the external .dbg file from the .gnu_debuglink section. Note that the build-id support still needs to be added to fpc and thus the crc checksum verification needs to be implemented to verify that the correct .dbg is found. In the final situation both options shall be implemented. If you are going to implement something first refactor the part that handles the opening and reading of the executable file and can find the position of sections. Most of these routines are already available in lineinfo.pp for multiple platforms. Both lineinfo and lnfodwrf shall use the new unit. Keep also in mind that only routines from the system unit can be used, so no streams from classes unit.

See function openstabs in lineinfo:
function OpenStabs:boolean;
var
ofm : word;
begin
OpenStabs:=false;
assign(f,paramstr(0));
and for dwarf in lnfodwarf there is OpenDwarf:
function OpenDwarf() : Boolean;
var
oldfilemode : Word;
begin
OpenDwarf := false;
{ open input file }
assign(infile, paramstr(0));
{$I-}
Thank you very much! :)
I'm working on. ;)

Re: [fpc-devel] A Compiled file size solution from the GBD mailing-list
Support for a separate .dbg file is now available for windows in
current svn trunk with the -Xg option. No need anymore for objcopy
--only-keep-debug objcopy --add-debug-link strip under
windows. The external linker (e.g. linux) still be updated to support
objcopy and strip when -Xg is passed.
I have just try on Windows with objcopy (I have ownloaded it from the
mingw binutils binaries) and works like a charm.
The -Xg flag do not works. GDB tell me: not found symbols.
PS: why do not add objcopy to the FPC bin folder?
Did you include the -g flag to generate debuginfo? The -Xg is a linker only
option that does not
influence generation of code or debuginfo. On an other system than the
development system it is
also working fine.
For windows we don't want to call external tools by default. The binutils are
very slow under
windows resulting in complains about slow compilation times which are infact
linking times. That
is also the reason why windows has already an internal linker.

I understand and agree with this position, add a new features in a bugfix only release is dangerous! Any opinion about the 2.4 release date? No. Because of the FPC server crash and the copyright issue, 2.2.2 is already one month behind of schedule. I don't even know when we'll get that back on track. Let alone that I would know when 2.4 will be out. Michael. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

On the FPC\bin I found only fpcmake.exe IMO, the best way to get it, is to install the latest FPC release (which you have anyway for the starting compiler as explained in the buildfaq) and get it from the compiler directory (the directory with ppc386.exe).

Why do not add a simple .bat file able to do all the works? :( I can think of several reasons: 1. .bat doesn't work on the majority of OS-es 2. .bat only can work in a certain default configuration 3. in this default configuration the bat file would contain two lines: make all make install I am pretty sure these lines are in the build faq and a .bat file is hardly simpler.

[fpc-devel] Generics basic library
Hello, I was coding and I suddently saw that need to use a typed list. I went with TFPList, but considering we already have compiler support I thougth that maybe we could have a basic library with useful classes using generics. I searched on fpc 2.2.0 sources a lot, but I couldn't find anything. I was thinking on the lines of: TGenericListT = class Does something similar already exist? If not, maybe I can find some time to write something to start with. Any ideas about unit name, location on fpc sources, if it's useful at all, what it should contain, etc, for that? thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
Re: [fpc-devel] Generics basic library
Hi Felipe, I have never gotten onto the band wagon regarding Generics. I have only seen the word being tossed around on the mailing lists and newsgroups. Do you maybe have a nice link explaining Generics, what benefits it has over TList (TObjectList and friends) and what I would use it for? I gather FPC 2.2.0 has support for Generics?

Re: [fpc-devel] New -Xg option in the last 9778 revision
Michael Van Canneyt wrote: My questions are: 1)...when this patch will be apply to the current 2.2.x version (I think currently it works only on the last 2.3.x version)? The patch is not even 24 hours old and needs to stabilize first. Maybe in a couple of months it will be considered for inclusion. Do you think it will be included in the next 2.2.2 stable release? Normally not. Why? Because 2.2.2 is a bugfix only release, no new features are allowed. On the other hand we can treat -Xg option as bug so then there will be no rule breaking. Also think of fpc_resources merge since old resource support (=current for fixes_2_2, and trunk) can be treated as bugged too :) Best regards, Paul Ishenin. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
