Product Description:
|
|
6 |
====================
|
|
7 |
AppDep is a command line tool that can be used to resolve static
|
|
8 |
dependency information of a component within a Symbian OS build (either
|
|
9 |
platform or custom). The tool generates a cache file by reading the data
|
|
10 |
from all binaries and import libraries within a release, by using an
|
|
11 |
external compiler tool set. The use of a cache file is a fast way to make
|
|
12 |
a dependency review, such as what dependencies a binary has, and functions
|
|
13 |
and ordinals used in a binary, and to generate dependency lists to a
|
|
14 |
component or a function. The tool can also be used to view the properties
|
|
15 |
of a binary.
|
|
16 |
|
|
17 |
Features:
|
|
18 |
=========
|
|
19 |
- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-symbol-tables.txt which contain
|
|
20 |
symbol tables of all import libraries within a release
|
|
21 |
- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-dependencies.txt which contain
|
|
22 |
dependency information of all binaries within a release
|
|
23 |
- Reading data from AppDep generated cache files or from platform
|
|
24 |
generated StaticDependencies.txt
|
|
25 |
- Include SIS files under analysis
|
|
26 |
- Support for defining multiple target types
|
|
27 |
- Support for reading binaries from a release or a debug build
|
|
28 |
- Support for reading .lib files or .dso files
|
|
29 |
- Display properties of a file
|
|
30 |
- Print all static dependencies of a component
|
|
31 |
- Print all components that depends on a component
|
|
32 |
- Print all functions used by a component
|
|
33 |
- Print all components that are using a function
|
|
34 |
|
|
35 |
Fixed issues:
|
|
36 |
=============
|
|
37 |
- Added support for components that include "-" character in the middle of the component name i.e. now
|
|
38 |
also imported function lines of format '27 imports from libdbus-utils{000a0000}[20010154].dll' are parsed
|
|
39 |
correctly from dump created by elftran.exe.
|
|
40 |
- Fixed issue 'command '-showfunctions' may report functions with same ordinal twice' which was due to duplicate
|
|
41 |
import function instances found from cache file. Now the possible duplicate import function instances are detected
|
|
42 |
during cache creation and only one import function instance is stored.
|
|
43 |
|
|
44 |
Enhancements:
|
|
45 |
=============
|
|
46 |
- Appdep now scans *.agt and *.fxt files as binaries
|
|
47 |
- Changed tool to use elftran.exe instead petran.exe for GCCE and RVCT toolchains (petran.exe is still used for GCC).

System Requirements:
|
|
53 |
====================
|
|
54 |
Basic Requirements:
|
|
55 |
- Windows 2000
|
|
56 |
- External RVCT or GCCE tool chain installed when Symbian OS 9.x is
|
|
57 |
being used
|
|
58 |
- Symbian OS development environment installed including all related
|
|
59 |
import libraries (.lib or .dso)
|
|
60 |
|
|
61 |

Known Issues:
|
|
66 |
=============
|
|
67 |
|
|
68 |
RVCT toolset slowness
|
|
69 |
---------------------
|
|
70 |
- If your installed RVCT toolset does not have a fixed license, it will
|
|
71 |
get a license for each import library every time. This may cause the
|
|
72 |
cache generation become very slow. If this is causing problems, try
|
|
73 |
--uselibs parameter or use GCCE tool chain instead.
|
|
74 |
|
|
75 |
C++filt location when RVCT toolchain is used
|
|
76 |
--------------------------------------------
|
|
77 |
- When you RVCT toolchain, you must also specify a location to C++filt
|
|
78 |
tool since RVCT toolchain does not provide that. It is recommended to
|
|
79 |
use the cfilt.exe provided with AppDep installed since it has been
|
|
80 |
tested to work correctly. C++filt.exe provided by the platform cannot
|
|
81 |
be used since it is not compatible.
