Debuginfo + addr2line

[Mike Perry]

Hey, I'm working on building symbol resolution into my malloc
debugger (NJAMD), and I was wondering if anyone had any information on
how debuginfo files are built. I'm currently using addr2line to look
up symbols for me, but it seems as though the mods to support
debuginfo files were only made to gdb, and not to binutils.

So I guess I have two questions:

1. Are there any plans to patch addr2line to support debuginfo files?

2. If not, where can I find information on how these things are
generated/formatted so as to attempt a patch to addr2line myself? I've
scoured the web but seem to be unable to find much of any use.


Thanks,
