For non-MIPS objects, the list of register + names in print_sections.c is not appropriate, #define + DWARFDUMP_TURN_OFF_MIPS_REG_NAMES to turn off the MIPS names. +December 1, 2005 + Added new DWARF3 TAGs and ATtributes to the -k lists, + clarified the -k reporting, and made the build more robust + in the face of errors in the *.list relationship-spec-files. + +August 1, 2005 + Now print_die.c deals with long loclists without a coredump. + Added esb.h esb.c (and testesb.c for testing) to encapsulate + getting space for possibly-long strings. + Now print_die.c uses snprintf() not sprintf (hopefully this + will not inconvenience anyone, snprintf() has been available + on most systems for years now). + Altered print of location lists a little bit - for better appearance. + +July 15, 2005 + Now completely frees all allocated memory. Various + routines were not calling dealloc() code and + new libdwarf dealloc routines are now used where those + are needed. + + Now prints DWARF3 .debug_pubtypes section (with -a or -y). + The .debug_pubtypes section and SGI-specific .debug_typenames + are equvalent so they are treated alike. + +Mar 21, 2005 + The -f flag now prints only .debug_frame data. The .eh_frame section + (GNU exceptions data) now prints with -F (not -a). + Printing gcc 3.3 or 3.4 .eh_frame with zR augmentation + does not work at this time, so do not use -F + to print such an object. + The line section print now prints a CU-DIE offset for each such DIEs + line information. This makes it much easier to correctly associate + -l (or -v -l) output with -v -v -l when debugging a faulty + linetable in an executable. + With -v -v -l (two -v) the output of line info continues to be a + completely different format than zero or one -v, the two-v + form showing the detailed line table opcodes. + With g++ 3.3.3 one sees bad line addresses at times as the + DW_LNE_set_address address for header files do not always + get their relocations applied. I am told this is fixed in 3.4.x. + + +Mar 18, 2005 + In correcting printing of macro information the format + of the macro (-m) output has changed substantially. + Much more complete now. Still could use enhancement. + +Oct 28, 2004 + Updated contact address in copyright: SGI moved 1/4 mile + to a new address: 1500 Crittenden Lane. + +Oct 02, 2003 + Now fully supports .debug_loc section. + +June 14, 2001 + Now calling a new function dwarf_get_arange_cu_header_offset() + in libdwarf and printing the returned cu header offset for + aranges entries. Making it easier to track down internal + errors in the dwarf2 data. Also added small other + consistency checks, printing a message and exit()ing on + error. + +April 14, 2000 + The libdwarf copyright has changed to + version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License. + Anyone holding a version of libdwarf that was published + before this new copyright + is allowed to use + the copyright published in that earlier libdwarf source + on the earlier source + or to use + this new copyright on the earlier source, + at their option. + +July 21, 1999 + Added gnu extensions to the frame information printer + and handling for egcs eh_frame printing. + libdwarf changes mean this now can print little-endian + object dwarf on a big-endian system and vice-versa. + +December, 1998 + added dwarfdump to the dwarf public source distribution. + +June, 1994 + libdwarf consumer interface changed completely so updated to match. + +May, 1993 + Initial version of dwarfdump for dwarf version 2 + written at sgi.
