How widely used is the Elf/DWARF object-file format? I have been told that
while COFF is still useable and not obsolete, it is a rather old format.
IEEE-695 has come along since, followed most recently by Elf/DWARF. I had
planned on using COFF for a new development environment but am wondering
whether this is wise. I have heard that Elf/DWARF is more expressive but
also more complicated to implement (I've ordered a spec sheet from Intel).
Any observations or experience with Elf/DWARF? Disadvantages/advantages of
the different formats?
Thanks,
