 Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:29 pm Post subject: COFF handler status |
 |
|
Hi there. I am curious what the state of the COFF library is atm. I synced the trunk and then started to write a simple lib dumper:
| Code: | import ddl.coff.cofflibrary;
int main(char[][] args)
{
COFFLibrary lib = new COFFLibrary(args[1]);
return 1;
} |
When I build this and run it with some input, e.g. "libdump \dm\lib\gdi32.lib", it immediately hits the assert on line 130 of COFFLibrary.d.
What I'm wondering is, does this seem like a reasonable thing to do? Am I doing something obviously wrong? Should the COFF handling code be mature enough to handle this? I am prepared to dig in and debug this, if need be, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't exceeding the operating parameters of the library first

First of all its not ready for general use like that Im still getting the code merged into DDL, secondly you are trying to open an OMF library with a COFF parser. It wont work.
Oh, and thirdly, I may not have hooked up the .lib code properly with the DynamicLibrary stuff, right now it probably only opens .obj files cleanly, as I havent tested any of that. |

Aha! You succeeded in boggling my mind, but I just figured out what you meant . . . the versions of the windows lib files have been converted to OMF format by DM because that's what dmd knows how to link against.
Back to the drawing board! |

| Yes. The COFF code now should work, but its mostly there for compatability with DLLs or microsoft C libs. Im mainly using it to parse COFF exe images for my debugger. |
