[hatari-devel] Support for autoloading also TOS symbols?

[Eero Tamminen <oak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

EmuTOS 512k / 1024k versions have for a long time come with Hatari 
debugger compatible symbols file, so I thought to add same .sym file 
autoloading for them, as for Atari programs on GEMDOS HD.

I'm wondering whether TOS image and Atari program files should have 
separate configurations options for symbol (file) autoloading?

I.e. split "ConfigureParams.Debugger.bSymbolsAutoLoad" option to 
separate e.g. "bTosSymbolsLoad" and "bPrgSymbolsLoad" options.  By 
default both would then be enabled, so that first (Emu)TOS symbols are 
loaded, if present, and once user starts Atari program, symbols for that 
would be loaded (replace TOS symbols) when entering debugger.

EmuTOS devs could disable program symbol autoloading, and normal users 
would probably just delete the TOS sym file... :-)

(And somebody debugging original TOS version could come up with their 
own .sym file for it.)

PS. Program symbols loading is important enough functionality,
that this change would go in only after the release.  That will also 
leave lots of time for tuning verbosity to suitable level...
