Durin

Durin is a library for reading and writing the Dwarf debugging format.

It aims to support:

Reading DWARF 5 encoded information from ELF and MachO object files.

Writing DWARF 5 information into ELF and MachO object files.

Writing DWARF 5 information into assembly files.

In future it could support DWARF 4 or newer versions of the DWARF standard.

It should provide:

Cross-platform: durin makes no assumptions about what kind of object file you're working with. Provide your own Buffer or use the object library.

Parse only as many debugging information entry (DIE) trees as you iterate over. durin also uses DW_AT_sibling references to avoid parsing a DIE's children to find it's next sibling where possible.
