A while ago this was disscussed, and Fernando said he would
put in the RDI stop code. This hasn't happened as of the 10/10
snapshot, I'm not moaning, just maybe a reminder :-)
Since getting insight to work with my Jeeni, I have noticed
a few problems:
1. If you specify a symbol file on the command line, and
it can't be opened, there is no warning that the file
could not be opened.
2. I can't delete my breakpoints with the GUI, I have to
use the console. If I try to delete a breakpoint the gui
gives a popup:
Error: No breakpoint at <sourcefile>.s:<line>
This only occurs in breakpoints in assembly code.
3. Disasembly and mixed source and assembly view. On
the ARM using the Jeeni it sometimes gets the disassembly
wrong.
If I were to try and fix these, how would I supply patches for
approval? What program should I use to produce these patch files?
Thanks,
Tim
