inserted in ELF binaries by the compiler. This information is used by
debuggers (e.g. GDB), and other tools such as systemtap.
.
Utilities in the dwarves suite include:
.
- pahole: finds alignment holes in structs and classes in languages
such as C/C++, CPU cacheline alignment. Helps repack those structures
to achieve more cache hits.
- codiff: a diff like tool to compare the effects changes in source
code generate on the resulting binaries
- pfunct: displays all sorts of information about functions, inlines, etc.
- pdwtags: pretty-prints DWARF information
- pglobal: lists global symbols
- prefcnt: counts DWARF tags usage
- syscse: system call sign extender
- dtagnames: lists tag names
