<concept id="GUID-DA62FD4F-2E74-5B2F-B703-4A40DF5F01CA" xml:lang="en"><title>MAKSYM

Tool</title><shortdesc>MAKSYM is a command line tool that processes the log file generated

when building a ROM image, and creates a text file that lists the address

of every global and exported function in the ROM</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p> <xref href="GUID-CC04A14B-A839-5613-820D-F1E65EB2DF7F.dita">Reference: tools:

MAKSYM</xref> outlines the syntax of the command. </p>

<p>If you know the address of the instruction which caused an exception, you

can compare this address with the MAKSYM log to see which function this is

in. You can narrow this down to the exact code within the function by using <codeph>ABLD

LISTING</codeph> to get the assembler output from the compiler. </p>

<p>The following example MAKSYM log is taken from an EKA1 build; however,

the principle is the same for EKA2. </p>

<codeblock id="GUID-D59F2E58-C39A-516B-8185-F4C8DBB9BE45" xml:space="preserve">From    \Epoc32\Release\Misa\UREL\ekern.exe

50003040    0094    _E32Startup

500030d4    002c    ImpDma::Init1(void)

50003100    0004    ImpDma::Init3(void)

50003104    0008    ImpDma::MaxBlockSize(void)

</codeblock>

<p>If, for example, the code address of the exception is at <codeph>0x500030dc</codeph>,

then you can see from the log that this is in the <codeph>ImpDma::Init1()</codeph> function,

at offset 8 from the start of the function. This function is in the file <filepath>...\e32\ekern\epoc\arm\sa1100\ka_dma.cpp</filepath>,

so use<codeph> ABLD LISTING</codeph> to obtain the assembler: </p>

<p><userinput>cd \e32</userinput> </p>

<p><userinput>abld listing misa urel ekern ka_dma </userinput> </p>

<p>Notice that you must specify the component that the file is part of, in

this case <codeph>EKERN</codeph>, and that you do not put the <filepath>.cpp</filepath> extension

on the source file name. If you do not specify a source file ABLD will create

an assembler listing for every file in component <codeph>EKERN</codeph>. </p>

<p>The listing file will be placed in the same directory as <codeph>ka_dma.cpp</codeph>,

and will be called <codeph>ka_dma.lis</codeph>. If you look at this file you

will see something like this: </p>

<p>Offset 8 is the first STR instruction. Comparing this with the C++ source: </p>

<codeblock id="GUID-695798DA-4A00-5963-A3B8-F30D5D908FDA" xml:space="preserve">void ImpDma::Init1()

//

// Phase 1 initialisation of the Dma channels

//

    {

    PP::DmaMaxChannels=KNumberOfDmaChannels;

    PP::DmaChannelTable=(TDma **)(&DmaChannels[0]);

    Mem::FillZ(PP::DmaChannelTable,sizeof(TDma *)*KNumberOfDmaChannels);

    }

</codeblock>

<p>The first store is to PP::DmaMaxChannels, so clearly there is a problem

writing this memory. </p>
