[PATCH 0/2 v2] jit : Generate debug info for variables

[Petter Tomner]

Hi,

This is a revision of my patch for debug info.

The patches are posted as mails to this thread. Make check-jit runs fine on Debian x64.

Below is the original mail and under it a rehash of the review comments.

Regards, Petter

Hi,

This is a patch to generate debug info for local variables as well as globals. 
With this, "ptype foo", "info variables", "info locals" etc works when debugging in GDB.

Finalizing of global variable declares are moved to after locations are handled and done
as Fortran, C, Go etc do it. Also, primitive types have their TYPE_NAME set for debug info
on types to work.

Below are the patch, and I attached a testcase. Since it requires GDB to run it might
not be suitable? Make check-jit runs fine on Debian x64.

Done. I think the python script chokes on asd/qwe/jit.db/ (the dot) though.

Added.

Changed.

Ye I didn't remember that flag. Entering loc manually aint no fun.
