Pure-C library output

[LuigiThirty]

I’m working on a GDB stub that’s linkable with TOS programs. How can I configure the project to make a .lib file (like the GEM and TOS libs it includes) I can link with other projects instead of a PRG?

I not sure what you are trying to do, but object files in PureC libraries are quite different from other object formats. Basically, every symbol (be it a variable or a function) has its own "section", even if they are combined in a single object file. That is what enables the linker to selectively link only the needed part of an object.

I guess your best option is to take a look at the sources of AHCC, where most of this stuff is handled already.

Huh, okay.

I could never get AHCC to work on my ST - it just freezes up or the menubar doesn’t work or it starts complaining at me in Dutch. No idea. That’s why I’m using good old Pure C.

Source code please because I would like to have such a stub for use with gcc

AHCC and Pure C claim to be binary compatible, I never tested this and the last time I was using AHCC, Henk Robbers was very willing to help out and debug issues. He even fixed some things directly in AHCC...

It really only lets you connect over a 9600bps serial link, read a register dump when a program crashes, read memory, and kill a crashed process so far. I’ll post it on Github once I make some more progress.

I am looking forward to it.
