You will need to covert the PDB location to the DWARF expression opcodes.</div><div><br></div><div>Some examples:</div><div>variable is at SP + 4 = DW_OP_bregXXX(4)</div><div><br></div><div>DW_OP_bregXXX where XXX is the register number for your stack pointer. This opcode takes a single operand that is the offset from the register in question. The variable value is expected to be at the load address in memory.</div><div><br></div><div>variable is in register 12 = DW_OP_reg12</div><div><br></div><div>There are 32 DW_OP_regXXX opcodes DW_OP_reg0 - DW_OP_reg31. If your register value is higher than 32, then use DW_OP_regx which takes a ULEB128 parameter which is the register number:</div><div><br></div><div>variable is in register 46 = DW_OP_regx(46)</div><div><br></div><div>Global variables:</div><div><br></div><div>variable is at file address 0x12340000 = DW_OP_addr(0x12340000)</div><div><br></div><div>The address here is a file address, or the file VM address of the global as it is known in the object file. This address will be slid and covered to a load address if needed at runtime.</div><div><br></div><div>IF you have any other questions on converting your locations, let me know. But the above examples should give you a good start.</div><div><br></div><div>Greg</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Aleksandr</div></div>
