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. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA Catproof is an oxymoron, Childproof is nearly so
