These macros affect all debugging formats.
DBX_REGISTER_NUMBER (regno)
-
A C expression that returns the DBX register number for the compiler
register number regno. In simple cases, the value of this
expression may be regno itself. But sometimes there are some
registers that the compiler knows about and DBX does not, or vice
versa. In such cases, some register may need to have one number in
the compiler and another for DBX.
If two registers have consecutive numbers inside GNU CC, and they can be
used as a pair to hold a multiword value, then they must have
consecutive numbers after renumbering with
DBX_REGISTER_NUMBER.
Otherwise, debuggers will be unable to access such a pair, because they
expect register pairs to be consecutive in their own numbering scheme.
If you find yourself defining DBX_REGISTER_NUMBER in way that
does not preserve register pairs, then what you must do instead is
redefine the actual register numbering scheme.
DEBUGGER_AUTO_OFFSET (x)
-
A C expression that returns the integer offset value for an automatic
variable having address x (an RTL expression). The default
computation assumes that x is based on the frame-pointer and
gives the offset from the frame-pointer. This is required for targets
that produce debugging output for DBX or COFF-style debugging output
for SDB and allow the frame-pointer to be eliminated when the
`-g' options is used.
DEBUGGER_ARG_OFFSET (offset, x)
-
A C expression that returns the integer offset value for an argument
having address x (an RTL expression). The nominal offset is
offset.
PREFERRED_DEBUGGING_TYPE
-
A C expression that returns the type of debugging output GNU CC produces
when the user specifies `-g' or `-ggdb'. Define this if you
have arranged for GNU CC to support more than one format of debugging
output. Currently, the allowable values are
DBX_DEBUG,
SDB_DEBUG, DWARF_DEBUG, DWARF2_DEBUG, and
XCOFF_DEBUG.
The value of this macro only affects the default debugging output; the
user can always get a specific type of output by using `-gstabs',
`-gcoff', `-gdwarf-1', `-gdwarf-2', or `-gxcoff'.
