It's worth plugging the Dwarf debugging standard home page:
http://dwarfstd.org/Home.php
Going off topic, with GDB 7 supporting runtime compilation it'd be
nice if there were a library aiding JIT writers to "speak dwarf" at
runtime. Currently only LLVM does this well. If people know of a
library or other examples I'd like to hear.


Thanks,
