The problem I have is as follows. It takes me over half an hour to create
a link with the development platform. This seems to be a tremendous waste
of time, to just test out a single bug fix/mod in a file. ( BTW I use
dbxtool for debugging. )
I have used another workstation which was running a flavor of System V.
In this environment, we could stay in the debugger (sbd), and compile the
individual file which needed to be modified, and then invoke a locally
developed tool which would do a dynamic link with new .o file. [ My
understanding is that it searched for the symbols corresponding to the .o
file, and relocated them from their locations in the symbol table, to the
very end...... ] One could thereafter carry on with the testing and
debugging. This may be termed as a "dynamic loader", for want of a better
name.
Is some such tool practical in the SUNOS and dbxtool ? Does anybody know
of such a tool for the SUN4 machines. Is it in the public domain ? I
would very much appreciate relevant info.
