> remove it?<BR>
<BR>Oops, did I say that? :)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>Well, we should definitely do some of the others if are going to keep it. :)<BR><BR>
I'm leaning toward Microsoft CodeView debugging information currently.<BR>It should be the easiest and provide a lot of value.<BR> Though it is actually in m3objfile.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>I forgot to mention:<BR> It is already I think very portable to all 32bit x86 platforms.<BR> The real work work would be in m3objfile.<BR> A little in m3back regarding calling conventions perhaps.<BR>
<BR>Maybe a little around munging function names for "-shared -fPIC" too.<BR>Like appending "@plt" in function calls or somesuch.<BR>
