IEEE 695 support for MRI tools

[Mark Phillips]

Hi there,

Has anyone managed to get ieee support working?

I'm currently using MRI C compiler, XRAY debugger and HP BDM tools.

I would like to move over to gcc (for C++ support and so I use the same
host compiler for sun/hp and target compilations).

Currently I can produce IEEE files, but if the (sort of elf, m68k-psos
binutils [*]) file contains STABS debug info, the resulting ieee file
(after an objcopy) does not even load into XRAY (Error 0ED6 unknown record
header).

Has anyone managed to feed a gcc produced object file into XRAY (IEEE)
with debug info?

Cheers
Mark

The object file (with the debug info) looks like this:-

bharh59a:/view/msp_RELEASE/vobs/pon/test 63% m68k-psos-objdump --header
hi.ieee

hi.ieee:     file format ieee

[*]
The binutils/gcc is setup to use the m68k-psos target. This results in
binutils producing elf object files BUT with leading _ chars on symbol
names. I have modified gcc to match.... Maybe this wasn't a good idea!
