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?
