[avr-libc-dev] AVR Elf Processing

[Colin O'Flynn]

Hello,

[OK this is actually more avr-gcc, but this is the -dev mailing list so 
probably more applicable here]

I was talking to Atmel about the status of the new beta Dwarf/Elf parser in 
AVR Studio (in case you missed it see the AVRFreaks thread).

For bug status they were having troubles with the following bugs/fixes needed 
in the avr-gcc toolchain. 

> The following bugs can be fixed by others:
> -Layout of bitfields in the gcc dwarf debug output.
> -Adding support for dwarf callstack information for AVR gcc
> -Adding support for multiple memoryspaces in gcc.
>   (I think this is work in progress?)
> -Adding c++ support to avr-libc
>
> I have asked around for the bitfield and callstack information problem, but
> I donot think anybody is working on it.

Anyone got any ideas on how much work those would take (with the exception of 
c++ which isn't that important)?

Regards,

 -Colin
