Hello,

for debugging purposes, I'd like to be able to locate the addresses of my compiled functions in the ROM (so I could set breakpoints in Gens, for example).

Is there a way to change the "make.exe -f makefile.gen" command to do that ?

you can modify the makefile.gen to produce symbol list for instance.
In the next SGDK version i will add a "debug" target to produce debug symbols

you can use NM for that.
It's what I'm using to generate watchers for KMod,like in this makefile

command :

I think you'll need to generate the binary with -g flag, to keep symbols[/code]

Thanks for anwers !

Sorry, I'm new to makefiles and GCC command line options (and the least that can be said is that the man page is dense ).

I suppose I must add a flag in :
but which one ? (-g ?)

Seems interesting. What's the exact name of it (because NM search on Google gives gazillions of results, none of them related to coding ) ?

In the makefile.gen fle you can replace this line :
by and you will always have a symbol.txt file produced along the rom.bin file so you know the address of your variables and functions.

In fact you already did it, I just didn't notice

Sorry for bothering

Almost, you just need to modify a bit the makefile.gen file. In next SGDK version using the "debug" target will automatically produce the symbol file.

Nope :
generated a symbol.txt.

There's these lines in makefile.gen :
I suppose they are the one responsibles for that, and I assume they are yours

Ohhh indeed i though it was not yet available ^^
