vee-tables - July 9, 2007

So now we have basic support for exposing the vtables information in the DWARF info for C++ objects, class__fprintf will just print something like this (from a struct in the CERN ATLAS project): vtable has 7 entries: 5 = setProperty(_ZN9IProperty11setPropertyERK8Property), 6 = setProperty(_ZN9IProperty11setPropertyERKSs), 7 = setProperty(_ZN9IProperty11setPropertyERKSsS1_), 8 = getProperty(_ZNK9IProperty11getPropertyEP8Property), .

Break on thru, to the other side - July 8, 2007

I spent most of my early life as a contributor to freeopen source software as a packager, coming from a life as a software developer in the dark dungeons. Now I&8217;m just happy as a project I finally managed to make go to the 1st version, the funny little peoples one, get on gentoo, mandriva and now in one of the ones I respected the most while a packager: PLD. Thank you guys, its good to be packaged. Too late for a cl package tho

Back Home - July 7, 2007

The dwarves presentation at OLS went pretty well, people even seem to have liked it. The paper is now available, use it as the documentation. Implemented &8211;expand_pointers, that unfolds the pointer types in the same way that &8211;expand_types expand non-pointer types. Should be useful in getting a bigger picture of a project data structure maze of relationships. It should be a good first step on helping with checking ABI breakage, just use it in the old and new binary and use plain old..
