Map files

(1/2) > >>

first500:
Please forgive what may be a naive question, but on the Daily Builds page there is now a Map File available for download.

What exactly do you do with this? (clean answers only, please)

bascule:
I had a quick look through the IRC logs and I believe they are developers' files for debugging a build.

How/what they do was not explained...

LambdaCalculus:
I think it's to map changes to the code, but I'm not 100% sure myself.

By the way, and not to be mean about it... you could've posted this in General Discussion, you know.

saratoga:
map files give the layout of rockbox executables in memory.  They're useful for debugging.

LambdaCalculus:
A little slice of information that's always good to know... thanks for the info, saratoga!
