dolmatch

by Max Parisi

This program searches for identical strings of object code within the .text sections of two DOLs, or an ELF relocatable object and a DOL, while trying its best to ignore differences due only to link-time relocation. If a match is found, it notes its symbol from the provided .map file (which may be either in Dolphin format or the format found in Brawl's symbol map) and the absolute addresses of the function's location in both DOLs. No .map file needs to be provided for an ELF relocatable object, however, as dolmatch will parse the symbols from the ELF object's .symtab section instead. Also, the "address" of a function from an ELF object is its starting offset in the .text section.

This program may allow one to use a DOL with a symbol table (searchDol) to migrate symbols to another DOL for which no symbol table is available (targetDol). This can be useful when it is likely that both DOLs were linked with the same object code libraries, such as those which may be provided by a common SDK.

Usage

./dolmatch <searchSymMap>.map <mapType> <searchDol>.dol <targetDol>.dol

Supported mapTypes:
  1: Dolphin MAP file
  2: Brawl format .map file
  3: mwldeppc (CW v1.3.2 - 2.6) .MAP file
  4: mwldeppc (CW v2.7+) .MAP file

or

./dolmatch <searchElf>.o <targetDol>.dol
