This makes it easy + to deal with strings and expressions and file paths + that are difficult to express in a shell (or that getopt + mangles). Options -q and -U give you control over this process. +October 06, 2011 + The -x abi=mips frame register abi in dwarfdump.conf is now + usable with modern MIPS objects as well as old IRIX objects. + There are other mips-* frame register setups described + in dwarfdump.conf for anyone testing that nothing new has + been added that conflicts with old IRIX/MIPS frame generation. +October 04, 2011 + Revised in major ways to do the additional checks and produce the same + output as dwarfdump. But making use of C++ features. +March 29, 2011 + All indentations changed to a consistent 4 characters per level. + This was a massive but simple change. +January 26, 2010 + Changed the default frame-data register names from MIPS to + a generic set of registers. + Try '-x abi=mips' to get the traditional old MIPS register + naming. +June 22, 2009 + Added the -S option to dwarfdump. +June 10, 2009 + Moved the gennames.c code to libdwarf. +May 4, 2009 + Replaced awk source-generation of certain functions + with new gennames.c code. +April 04, 2009 + Now frame printing (-f and -F) uses a different interface + to libdwarf which is far more efficient for the particular + purpose of printing all the register rules. Reduces + MxN print time to M (one extreme case reduces from 2 hours + to 2 minutes). +Feb 28, 2009 + Created this new source base in C++ (from dwarfdump, which + is C). |
