Could anyone out there answer these questions? 1. Is there any way to deliberately modify (insert some extra transputer instructions to) the filed folds '...code' (.dcd file, object code) and '...CODE EXE xxx' (.cex file, linked and extracted code)? I would like insert some code at transputer instruction level (for debugging purpose) without changing the program source (the insertion is transparent to the user), and intend to let the modified executable code run without re-compilation. Any suggestions (I know the occam compiler is the best candidate to do this. But, ...)? 2. How does the TDS debugger's symbolic function work? There is a simple description in the 'Transputer Development System' by INMOS (page 107), but I would like to know more details, especially concerning how the debugger can locate a line on the program source and resume the symbolic function (back to the fold editing) just according to the Iptr and Wdesc supplied. If the Iptr and Wdesc can be obtained while the program is running, is it possible to display the source in the same way as the TDS debugger does? Any answers are welcome. Thanks in advance. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | Wentong Cai, | JANET: wca@uk.ac.exeter.cs | | Comp. Sci.
