auxtools

auxtools is a Rust-based successor to the extools project.

Currently, it implements some of the features such as the debug server, but is planned to supplant most functionality (maptick, etc.).

Code Documentation: https://auxtools.willox.dev

Features

Debug Server - Working with SpaceManiac's SpacemanDMM, Auxtools interfaces with the debugger frontend to provide debugger information and management of breakpoints.

Dissassembly - When currently stopped at a breakpoint, enter the #dis command into the Debug Console in VSC to see the DM bytecode for the current proc. You can also provide it any arbitrary proc path like #dis /mob/proc/Life.

Dependencies

These instructions were taken directly from tgstation's rust-g documentation.

The Rust compiler:

1. Install the Rust compiler's dependencies (primarily the system linker):

   • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
   • Windows (MSVC): Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017

2. Use the Rust installer, or another Rust installation method, or run the following:

   curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSfo rustup-init.sh
   chmod +x rustup-init.sh
   ./rustup-init.sh

3. Add the 32-bit compilation target:

   # Clone the `auxtools` repository to a directory of your choice
   git clone https://github.com/willox/auxtools
   # in the `auxtools` directory...
   cd auxtools
   # Linux
   rustup target add i686-unknown-linux-gnu
   # Windows
   rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc

System libraries:

• Ubuntu and Debian users run:

  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install build-essential g++-multilib libc6-i386 libstdc++6:i386

• Other Linux distributions install the appropriate 32-bit development and 32-bit runtime packages.

Compiling

The Cargo tool handles compilation, as well as automatically downloading and compiling all Rust dependencies. To compile in release mode (recommended for speed):

Linux:

export PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1
cargo build --release --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
# output: target/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/release/libauxtools.so

Windows:

cargo build --release --target i686-pc-windows-msvc
# output: target/i686-pc-windows-msvc/release/auxtools.dll,debug_server.dll
