Example Writing:
|
|
|
|
[ ] Think up better introductory examples
|
|
[ ] Example of symbol sets with instances that don't need names
|
|
[ ] Example of more complex data initialization via the hook
|
|
[ ] Example of symbol set reuse across multiple programs
|
|
- Metaprogramming without needing input
|
|
|
|
|
|
Research and Provide Practical Use Tips:
|
|
|
|
[ ] See the symbol set in the debugger
|
|
[ ] Best ideas for solving serialization systems problem
|
|
[ ] Shader management
|
|
[ ] IDs for profiler blocks
|
|
[ ] How does this hold up when multiple DLLs or SOs are involved?
|

Vetting:
|
|
|
|
Compilers: CL, GCC, CLANG
|
|
Linkers: LINK, GCC, CLANG
|
|
OSs: Win32, Linux, Mac
|
|
(COFF) (ELF) (MACHO)
|
|
|
|
[ ] Check configurations for accurate section virtual sizes
|
|
Win32{
|
|
link: -INCREMENTAL:NO
|
|
clang (as linker): -Xlinker -INCREMENTAL:NO
|
|
All combinations of CL, LINK, CLANG work so far so long as the above
|
|
options are used.
|
|
}
|
|
Linux{ [ ] GCC CLANG [ ] GCC GCC [ ] CLANG GCC [ ] CLANG CLANG }
|
|
Mac { [ ] CLANG CLANG }
|
|
|
|
[ ] Check configurations for link time optimization removal of symbols
|
|
|
|
[ ] Vet __ImageBase trick on Windows linkers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development:
|
|
|
|
[x] experiment with __ImageBase pseudo variable (linker variable)
|
|
[ ] Small as possible binary parser for "selfimg" purposes
|
|
[x] PE
|
|
[ ] Elf
|
|
[ ] Macho
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Mark II":
|
|
|
|
[ ] Object file editing for improved memory layout & symbol id references
|
|
[ ] Setup count and base pointer symbols
|
|
[ ] Learn how to put the symbol data into .data and relink everything
|
|
[ ] Setup id symbols & editing to give them values
|
|
[ ] Eliminate the "raw" version of symbols
|
|
|
|
[ ] Do I want to maintain a pair of versions one with object file editing
|
|
and one without?
|
|
|
|
Other Upgrade Research:
|
|
|
|
[ ] Could Symbol Sets syntax be organized in such a way that it's just a data
|
|
section and type wrapped in a macro?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support Tools:
|
|
|
|
[x] see data section size and layout info
|
|
[ ] dump binary as hex from a data section
|
|
[ ] see symbols inside data sections
|
|
[ ] see symbols by name
|
|
[ ] count of symbols in symbol set
|
|
[ ] display of string and integer data in symbol from symbol set
|
|
[ ] size of types
