      From: rambham@gmail.com              Hi,              I have a small code generator - for 32 bit x86 machines, unfortunately it       has some bugs :-(. My problem is that the generated code fails       "once in a while" sometimes it can go for 20-40 iterations before failing.              I have a collection of test cases where I verify the correctness of       various simple constructs -- things like load, store, add, sub, etc.       Those all pass.              The test case in question generates a code sequence of about 400 bytes. It       fails by seg faulting, unfortunately gdb is unable to print out a       useful stack trace.              What are some techniques that people have used for debugging code       generators?              -Ram              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
