Hello,

I think you should put extra "#line" before the new instruction such as PUSH or POP.

The "#line" will reset the line number to the parameter of it.

Best regards,

Yasuhiko Koumoto.

Tried adding extra #line before inserted instructions but doesn't help.

It appears that generated assembly-object file doesn't have all the debug information as compared to object created from source. Any idea how they can be generated?

Here are the few things tried already

Compiler  options: --debug --dwarf3 --debug_macros

Assembler options: --debug

Liner options: --bestdebug

--interleave doesn’t allow to reassemble the files.

Hello,

can I ask your expectation?

As you say, the elf file includes many debug information.

What do you especially want?

Best regards,

Yasuhiko Koumoto.
