Is there anybody out there who can help me with this problem ? My problem is to do with my Final Year Project which involves writing a Unix-style compiler for the Sun 3/50. The trouble is the assembler has a '.stabs' directive which is used by the compilers to generate symbol table entries for debugging purposes (dbx). I would really like to do the same, however, the standard documentation does not explain how to use it. I have tried studying the manual for a.out and the header file a.out.h and stab.h but they do not give all the information required. I also could do with any information regarding the internal aspects of the Pascal and c compilers such as register usage, stack frame layout, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please email at address below.
