I have developed a simple scheme by which DWARF may be extended to
understand include files (and the fact that executable lines may be
contained therein).


I hope to have this scheme approved by the UNIX International Programming
Language Special Interest Group, perhaps even at the upcomming meeting
February 6-7 in San Jose. (The UI/PLSIG is the group chartered with
making recommendations to USL regarding such things as debug information
format.)


If anybody reading this is interested in finding out more about the
UI/PLSIG please send me mail and I'll give you more details about
the group, its goals, and the things that it is currently working on.
