[comp.unix.ultrix] Format of the .T file on MIPS & Ultrix RISC

meissner@osf.org (Michael Meissner) (02/20/90)

Does anybody know where I can find documentation about the format of
the .T file that the MIPS compilers dump their debug information into?
I am trying to modify GCC to produce the correct debug information, it
would be nice if I didn't have to do something gross like dump .stabs
into the .rdata partition (which I'm toying with now).  From my
reading of the documentation of the object file format, the resultant
ECOFF debug format is similar to the normal AT&T COFF debug format,
and could be translated (somewhat) easily.  The problem is going from
assembler to the object file format.

One note, if you send me source or documentation, please be sure that
you have the legal right to distribute it.  Since the changes that I
make to GCC may get folded back to the Free Software Foundation
releases, and WILL appear on the OSF/1 source tape, it is important
that information I receive not be covered by trade secret or
non-disclosure agreements.
