Debugger : Output flags/registers in trace files

[colinleroy]

Hi folks,
what would you think about dumping flags and register values in trace files? Going from
0485: ldy $2556
To
0485: ldy $2556 ; x=$0, y= $1f, z=0

This could tremendously help analyzing what happens, after it happened.
If you think this is a good idea, I'm willing to give it a shot (although I would maybe need a bit of guidance to get started).
Thanks!

I think it's a good idea (I've wanted it myself on occasion), but we'd need some way to choose which registers should be included in the output. A/X/Y/P/S is fine for a 6502 but dumping all 70+ registers for each line on a PowerPC 403 would be too much.

Isn’t that exactly what the tracelog and tracesym commands are for?

There’s an example showing how to use tracelog in the examples for the trace command.

Yes, in fact it's exactly that!
I somehow missed it in the doc.
I love it when the thing is already done :)
