DWARF version missing information #28

Open djipi opened 1 year ago

djipi commented 1 year ago

This is a minor issue, but it would be good to have, in the document by example, the DWARF version(s) supported by Calypsi. This information could be useful when developing (or using) debugger in order to take the most from the DWARF version used.

The supported version is only DWARF 5. It does not support all aspects of DWARF 5, but enough to support what is currently needed. There are also some vendor extensions used. What in particular are you looking for and what is the intended use?

Thank you for the feedback. I have nothing particular in mind, I'm just a hobbyist and added a debugger in an emulator. Currently using libdwarf library, my debugger handles the DWARDF 2.
