This should sort out some very old FIXMEs in code handling stabs debug info. Necessary if we are to fuss over freeing up memory before objdump and objcopy exit. It is of course better from a user viewpoint to *not* free memory, which takes some time, and leave that to process exit. The only reason to do so is that having many memory leaks in binutils/ code tends to hide leaks in bfd/ or opcodes/, which we should care about. * budbg.h (parse_stab): Update prototype. * debug.h (debug_start_source): Update prototype. * debug.c (debug_start_source): Add name_used. Set if stashed. * rddbg.c (read_symbol_stabs_debugging_info): Always malloc stab string passed to parse_stab. Free stab string when unreferenced. (read_section_stabs_debugging_info): Likewise, and strings section contents. * stabs.c (parse_stab): Add string_used param. Set if string stashed. Pass to debug_start_source. Realloc file_types array rather that using malloc. Clarify comment about debug_make_indirect_type.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
