Debugging tool/C parser wanted
I need help in acquiring a tool which can be used to dump a
struct at runtime; that is, list names and values of every
member. We are using Microsoft C 4.00 (in conjunction with
Designer C++).
The names and types of struct members are only known at compile
time. Ideally, the compiler would make this information known,
(by writing it to a separate file, embedding it in the object,
etc) but the Microsoft compiler has no such facility.
I could write a utility which will parse the struct definitions
and extract the information needed for dumping structures. That
seems like quite a bit of work, and if I could get my hands on
such a tool, (or even the source of a C compiler which I could
modify) that task would be a lot easier. (Creating tools is
*part* of the project -- not a project in itself. :-) )
So, if either a ready-to-run tool, or pieces from which I can
build one exist, please let me know by mail.
Thanks in advance
