Package "libdwarf-dev"

dwarfutils (20111214-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release: 20111214.
  * dwarfdump[2]: Added support for DW_OP_GNU operators. Enhanced the
    extended-extensions table so known GNU tag-attr dependencies get no
    warning. Added support for DWARF3/4 line table values. libdwarf: Added
    support for DW_OP_GNU operators. Added dwarf_lineoff_b() function making
    dwarf_lineoff() obsolete (but still present). Added
    dwarf_add_lineentry_b() as part of preparation for creating DWARF3/4 line
    output (including isa and discriminator fields). Added
    dwarf_prologue_end_etc() function to access line entry new fields. The
    consumer documentation is now at version 2.02 and producer doc at version
    1.32 . dwarfgen: Added example code generating line tables.
  * Now libdwarf and dwarfdump/dwarfdump2 support reading and printing the
    DWARF4 .debug_types section.
  * dwarfdump2: Major change! Now works just like dwarfdump -- with the same
    options and capabilities as dwarfdump but by taking advantage of C++
    features it is simpler to read and a bit faster than C dwarfdump.
    dwarfdump: Fixed some (minor) problems in detecting compilation units and
    showing errors. libdwarf: Now a bit more robust in detecting errors in
    object files
  * Some minor changes. libdwarf: added -fPIC to enable-shared builds, and
    implemented the ability to declare (in dwarfdump.conf) that address-size
    is 4 or 8. dwarfdump: Fixed tsearch related call with a memory leak, added
    a dwarfdump.conf example showing new includeabi: and address_size: command
    lines, configure now sets HAVE_STDAFX_H if that header (non-Linux) exists,
    verify checking is on before doing a duplicate-fde check. dwarfdump2:
    verify checking is on before doing a duplicate-fde check.
