Can some one refer me to the documentation on ecoff? Is there any? I'd like the title of the appropriate manual to order, so that I can fix up the mips gas assembler. Specifically, I want to know what the value of the isym field of a procedure descriptor should be in the object file. If I'm assembling with no debugging information, which symbol should the procedure descriptor point to and what is the base to starty from (0, 1, or something weird)? Does it matter if the procedure descriptor refers to a local symbol or an external symbol? So far, I've been trying to infer what the ecoff symbol table is from the odump command and from the .h file. I'm stuck now. When is MIPS coming out with ELF support anyway? --
