[comp.compilers] dbx/dbxtool information sought.

collberg@DNA.LTH.Se (Christian S. Collberg) (06/06/88)

I am interested in hearing from anyone with experience in generating
symbolic information for the dbx/dbxtool debuggers. Any information
which goes beyond what can found in the manuals would be highly
appreciated.

You might look at GCC, the GNU C Compiler.  It generates .stab
directives for dbx (or gdb!!), as well as outputting GNU style
debug info (to be fed to the GNU as, and then gdb!!)

It is all high quality and functional.
