[comp.sys.amiga] Manx .dbg file format HELP

richard@elecvax.eecs.unsw.oz (Richard John Simpson) (09/03/87)

I hope someone can help me with this.

As part of my honours thesis for my BSc I am writing a source leevel debugger
for the Amiga. Such a program needs more information then is available from
a binary (auto vars, source line info, etc). The Manx C compiler (3.40a 
Developer) produces exactly what I need in the form of a xxx.dbg file
on request so I want to use this for my project.

	The problem is that the format of this binary file is undocumented.
I have written to Manx but they are unable to help (docs are not available)
so I am now appealing to the net for assistance.

	If anyone has worked out the format of this file I would be delighted
to hear from you. I am currently decyphering it myself but there is every
possibility I will miss something vital (and parts  of it seem rather obscure).

			Thanks for the assistance
