  This units contains support for DWARF debug info generation.

  Currently a lot of code looks like being mergable with dbgstabs. This might
  change however when improved dwarf info is generated, so the stuff shouldn't be
  merged yet. (FK)

  The easiest way to debug dwarf debug info generation is the usage of
  readelf --debug-dump <executable>
  This works only with elf targets though.

  There is a similar utility called dwarfdump which is not elf-specific and
  which has been ported to most systems.

            { On Darwin, dwarf info is not linked in the final binary,
              but kept in the individual object files. This allows for
              faster linking, but means that you have to keep the object
              files for debugging and also that gdb only loads in the
              debug info of a particular object file once you step into
              or over a procedure in it.

              To solve this, there is a tool called dsymutil which can
              extract all the dwarf info from a program's object files.
              This utility however performs "smart linking" on the dwarf
              info and throws away all unreferenced dwarf entries. Since
              variables' types always point to the dwarfino for a tdef
              and never to that for a typesym, this means all debug
              entries generated for typesyms are thrown away.

              The problem with that is that we translate typesyms into
              DW_TAG_typedef, and gdb's dwarf-2 reader only makes types
              globally visibly if they are defined using a DW_TAG_typedef.
              So as a result, before running dsymutil types only become
              available once you stepped into/over a function in the object
              file where they are declared, and after running dsymutil they
              are all gone (printng variables still works because the
              tdef dwarf info is still available, but you cannot typecast
              anything outside the declaring units because the type names
              are not known there).

              The solution: if a tdef has an associated typesym, let the
              debug label for the tdef point to a DW_TAG_typedef instead
              of directly to the tdef itself. And don't write anything
              special for the typesym itself.
