Thanks for the commit. FlexyCore works only on ARM EABI Linux target for now. This binary with Dwarf information could be debugged with a gdb-server 6.8 without problem on our side. If you are working on ARM Linux target, could you send us LLVM source file, and gdb version ? But if you are using ARM Darwin as Anton suggest, we are unable to test this for now. We are open to help on this target, but we need some help to efficiently setup the right Darwin platform (pre-compile binary platform, qemu, boards ???). Do not hesitate to contact us directly by mail on this topic. Thanks, Mike. Evan Cheng wrote:> > I've committed the patch with some fixes. It allows ARM target to > generate Dwarf information.

It would be nice if someone can figure that out and post instructions. I would very like to see qemu support as well. I know Greg is also interested in this.

Hi Evans, Currently, we have not test all debug functionnalities, this will be done with the progress of our project. Could you explain more in details (by mail if possible) what is the problem with aggregates and debugging ? Could you also provide C program or llvm source file that exposes this problem in order to see what we can do? During our roadmap progress, FlexyCore will not hesitate to send patches if needed.
