I.4 Notes for Windows platforms
-
Need to add support for processors other than the Intel 80x86. However, about
99% of Windows platforms run on this processor family -- does anyone really use
Windows with other processors? Also finish Cygwin support, although this is
effectively mpatrol built with `-DTARGET=TARGET_UNIX' support on Windows
platforms.
-
Perhaps add support for compiling the mpatrol library with
gcc on
Windows platforms so that the GNU BFD library can be used as well.
-
There seems to be a problem when mixing the archive version of the mpatrol
library and the Microsoft C run-time library DLL, and vice versa. This needs
to be looked into, but for the moment, don't mix them.
-
The library cannot currently read any symbols from DLLs that have been read via
LoadLibrary().
-
There seems to be a disparity between different versions of the imagehlp
library. It would appear that the latest incarnation of the imagehlp library
has had some functions removed and placed in a new library called debughlp.
Perhaps this simply means that `debughlp.lib' needs to be linked in as
well, but maybe there's more to it than that.
-
Perhaps add support for the
mpatrol command's `--dynamic'
option by preloading the mpatrol DLL from the mpatrol command.
-
Could add support for the `EDIT' and `LIST' options. This would
probably involve finding a way to invoke a batch file without having to search
for the batch file or allocating memory in the process.
-
Add GUI support for the
mptrace command.
-
Add a Windows resource file to the mpatrol library with copyright and version
information.
-
Perhaps add an
InstallShield installation script with icons.
