Amiga Enforcer V37.70

To download the current Enforcer archive (in LHA format) click here: Enforcer.lha

Enforcer is an advanced debugging tool for Amiga computer systems equiped with a 68020/68851, 68030, 68040, or 68060 CPU. It uses the MMU to help detect stray pointers and access to invalid memory.

The Enforcer archive includes tools to help identify the exact location of bugs, including the line of source code in most C or Assembly code. (Requires debugging information.) Also includes a large on-line manual and some examples as to how errors can be caught.

Changes from the V37.62 release of Enforcer:

• Added 68060 CPU support.

The 68060 is the fastest of the Motorola 680x0 series of microprocessors. This CPU adds a significant performance improvement over the 68040 CPU. It also adds some more complexity and a few features that affect debugging. This version of Enforcer is the first public release that provides support for the 68060. See documentation for details.

• New MMU dump tool.

This tool works on 68040 and 68060 CPUs. See documentation for details.

• A large amount of new documentation.

Much of the new documentation talks about how and why certain things were built the way they were. Some of the documentation is a "must read" for Amiga system hackers and CPU hardware vendors. It includes some source code for some of the patches that were needed to make the 68040.library support as much Amiga software as possible. (And, thus, 68060.library - hopefully.)

• A special offer: Source code to all the Enforcer tools!

Enforcer has always been available for use by Amiga developers for free.  I feel that the wide spread use of Enforcer has been one of the reasons Amiga software is as good as it is. With this release of Enforcer, I am making a special offer to people who wish to get the source code. This offer is detailed in the documentation.

I would also like to thank Woody Williams and Softwood for supplying me with this page to distribute Enforcer. Softwood is one of the companies that uses Enforcer to make quality software (which I use and recommend).
