  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 dwarfinfo 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 (printing 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.

          Update: we now also do this for other platforms, because
          otherwise if you compile unit A without debug info and
          use one of its types in unit B, then no typedef will be
          generated and hence gdb will not be able to give a definition
          of the type.

              classes are not implicit pointers in Objective-C itself, only
              in FPC. So make the def label point to a pointer to the
              typedef, which in turn refers to the actual struct (for Delphi-
              style classes, the def points to the typedef, which refers to
              a pointer to the actual struct) }
