Re: [Simulavr-devel] asm and --gstabs

[Theodore A. Roth]

This is all I had to do to be able to stepi on the test_blink.asm file:

  $ avr-ld -m avr85xx -o blink test_blink.elf

This works beautifully!

And just for grins and giggles, try this with avr-gdb:

address@hidden test_8515]$ avr-gdb-5.1

It looks like gdb is smart enough to now how to deal with .equ directives 
in the asm source files.

This is rather exciting! Everything is actually starting to work as 
advertised.

We still need to keep banging on gdb and figure out if there's any obscure
still left which still needs fixing/implementing. I'm starting to be hard
pressed to find things which don't work.

Tak, now you sould be able to do everything you want with asm programs for 
now.

I'm going to go bask in the warm glow of success while trying to get some
sleep. I don't think I'll have much success with that. ;)
