Re: add-symbol-file parsing


We have been talking of an eval command in another thread that would also solve this problem.

eval add-symbol-file /dir/symbol.file $text_addr

would cause

add-symbol-file /dir/symbol.file 0xdeadc0de

to be executed.

The problem is, add-symbol-file takes more than a $text_addr.  It also
takes a series of -s SECNAME $sec_addr.  We could:

- split the command line at -s options and parse anything before the
  next -s option as an expression, assuming people will not foolishly
  use -s in their expression;
- allow only convenience variables

Option 2 may be the way to go... What do others think about allowing
integer-or-convenience-variable there?

Option 2 would at least enable us to do everything. In the worst case you
would have to add another line to your macro that does the
expression-to-convinience-variable-translation.

Please let me know if you don't have time and would prefer me to tackle
this.

Thanks
