The tool generates a cache file by reading the data +from all binaries and import libraries within a release, by using an +external compiler tool set. The use of a cache file is a fast way to make +a dependency review, such as what dependencies a binary has, and functions +and ordinals used in a binary, and to generate dependency lists to a +component or a function. The tool can also be used to view the properties +of a binary. + +Features: +========= +- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-symbol-tables.txt which contain + symbol tables of all import libraries within a release +- Generates a cache file appdep-cache-dependencies.txt which contain + dependency information of all binaries within a release +- Reading data from AppDep generated cache files or from platform + generated StaticDependencies.txt +- Include SIS files under analysis +- Support for defining multiple target types +- Support for reading binaries from a release or a debug build +- Support for reading .lib files or .dso files +- Display properties of a file +- Print all static dependencies of a component +- Print all components that depends on a component +- Print all functions used by a component +- Print all components that are using a function + +Fixed issues: +============= +- Added support for components that include "-" character in the middle of the component name i.e. now + also imported function lines of format '27 imports from libdbus-utils{000a0000}[20010154].dll' are parsed + correctly from dump created by elftran.exe. +- Fixed issue 'command '-showfunctions' may report functions with same ordinal twice' which was due to duplicate + import function instances found from cache file. Now the possible duplicate import function instances are detected + during cache creation and only one import function instance is stored. + +Enhancements: +============= +- Appdep now scans *.agt and *.fxt files as binaries +- Changed tool to use elftran.exe instead petran.exe for GCCE and RVCT toolchains (petran.exe is still used for GCC). + +New Features: +============= + +System Requirements: +==================== +Basic Requirements: +- Windows 2000 +- External RVCT or GCCE tool chain installed when Symbian OS 9.x is + being used +- Symbian OS development environment installed including all related + import libraries (.lib or .dso) + +Compatibility Issues: +===================== +N/A + +Known Issues: +============= + +RVCT toolset slowness +--------------------- +- If your installed RVCT toolset does not have a fixed license, it will + get a license for each import library every time. This may cause the + cache generation become very slow. If this is causing problems, try + --uselibs parameter or use GCCE tool chain instead. + +C++filt location when RVCT toolchain is used +-------------------------------------------- +- When you RVCT toolchain, you must also specify a location to C++filt + tool since RVCT toolchain does not provide that. It is recommended to + use the cfilt.exe provided with AppDep installed since it has been + tested to work correctly. C++filt.exe provided by the platform cannot + be used since it is not compatible. + +Copyright (c) 2001-2009 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies). +All rights reserved. + +This component and the accompanying materials are made available +under the terms of "Eclipse Public License v1.0" +which accompanies this distribution, and is available +at the URL "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html". +
