Subject: mingw versions working
Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2012 05:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <jq9inr$738$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

I have successfully built a mingw32 arm-eabi insight that works fine. 
This is with a 7.4.50-20120530cvs snapshot. This is also with the 
bundled tcl/tk/itcl functions.

I also rebuilt a previous version I made for fedora that used an insight 
snapshot from 2011 but without the tcl/tk/itcl, but using the system 
versions. It also used the gdb files (except gdbtk which are still 
insight's own) from Codesourcery. This almost works on windows (now 
using bundled tcl/tk/itcl) but I can't set breakpoints with the mouse. 
However, can set bp's using the command line, e.g., "b main" or "b 
file.cpp:345". Can also delete bp's with mouse (just can't click and set 
them and no red square appears unless set with command line). I don't 
know where in the insight/gdb code this graphical breakpoint setting is 
handled.

However, this mingw version containing codesourcery's gdb (version 7.2) 
still has one advantage over the the pure insight described in first 
paragraph: when an ISR is entered the stack display shows the task level 
context that the ISR was called from like this:

main()
fn1()
fun2()
<signal handler called>
myIsr()
isrSub()

The linux build also shows the this same stack/backtrace display (also 
can set bp's with mouse in linux version). But the "pure" insight 
version stack display will look something like this:

??
??
myIsr()
isrSub()

I have looked around but don't see this listed anywhere as an improved 
feature in gdb or codesourcery's version of gdb. But I find it useful 
and wonder what it would take to add this to the pure insight version?
