Hi All, I have been writing a small extension for GCC on and off for the last year or two that performs static analysis of C++ exception propagation. Basically I use the patched GCC to gather the information I am after while it compiles files and then save that information to files that are then sent through a post processing phase.
I have run into a small problem that I cant find in the GCC source where it handles the logic of combining object files. I.e. g++ test.cpp ext_test.cpp -o blah Will run the C++ frontend to compile test.cpp into some assembly file like /tmp/foo1.s and then again for ext_test.cpp into /tmp/foo2.s Now I currently need to generate an associated file for each of these files as well. So my patched gcc will produce: from test.cpp /tmp/foo1.s /tmp/foo1.edc from ext_test.cpp /tmp/foo2.s /tmp/foo2.edc Now I assume GCC runs the assembler on /tmp/foo1.s and produces something like /tmp/foo1.o and similarly for /tmp/foo2.s produces /tmp/foo2.o Then GCC (SOMEWHERE I CANT SEEM TO FIND THIS PART OF THE CODE) links these objects by calling ld with /tmp/foo1.o and /tmp/foo2.o combining these into: blah When this occurs I wish to also combine my /tmp/foo1.edc and /tmp/foo2.edc into a file: blah.edc Where is the best place in the GCC source to look at where this is achieved? I need access to the output file name "blah" and the assembly file names (or at least be able to construct my /tmp/foo1.edc .. names from the object files) so I know what files to process for my .edc files and how to combine them. I am currently working with a gcc-4.0.1 source base. If someone can point me as to where GCC links these files together I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Brendon Costa.
