Synopsis

Dwarf information

data DwarfInfo Source

Individual dwarf records. Each one will be encoded as an entry in the .debug_info section.

pprDwarfInfo :: Bool -> DwarfInfo -> SDoc Source

Generate assembly for DWARF data

pprAbbrevDecls :: Bool -> SDoc Source

Abbreviation declaration. This explains the binary encoding we use for representing DwarfInfo.

Dwarf frame

data DwarfFrame Source

Information about unwind instructions for a procedure. This corresponds to a "Common Information Entry" (CIE) in DWARF.

data DwarfFrameProc Source

Unwind instructions for an individual procedure. Corresponds to a "Frame Description Entry" (FDE) in DWARF.

Constructors

DwarfFrameProc 

Fields

dwFdeProc :: CLabel
 
dwFdeHasInfo :: Bool
 
dwFdeBlocks :: [DwarfFrameBlock]

List of blocks. Order must match asm!

data DwarfFrameBlock Source

Unwind instructions for a block. Will become part of the containing FDE.

pprDwarfFrame :: DwarfFrame -> SDoc Source

Header for the .debug_frame section. Here we emit the "Common Information Entry" record that etablishes general call frame parameters and the default stack layout.

Utilities

pprByte :: Word8 -> SDoc Source

Assembly for a single byte of constant DWARF data

pprData4' :: SDoc -> SDoc Source

Assembly for 4 bytes of dynamic DWARF data

pprDwWord :: SDoc -> SDoc Source

Assembly for a DWARF word of dynamic data. This means 32 bit, as we are generating 32 bit DWARF.

pprWord :: SDoc -> SDoc Source

Assembly for a machine word of dynamic data. Depends on the architecture we are currently generating code for.

pprLEBWord :: Word -> SDoc Source

Prints a number in "little endian base 128" format. The idea is to optimize for small numbers by stopping once all further bytes would be 0. The highest bit in every byte signals whether there are further bytes to read.

pprLEBInt :: Int -> SDoc Source

Same as pprLEBWord, but for a signed number

wordAlign :: SDoc Source

Align assembly at (machine) word boundary

sectionOffset :: LitString -> LitString -> SDoc Source

Generate an offset into another section. This is tricky because this is handled differently depending on platform: Mac Os expects us to calculate the offset using assembler arithmetic. Linux expects us to just reference the target directly, and will figure out on their own that we actually need an offset. Finally, Windows has a special directive to refer to relative offsets. Fun.
