- Can we slowly start to acquire DWARF-3/4?
Dwarf 2 is good enough, so why do 3/4?
- Why were extensions chosen over say representing an array as two field struct?
Because it is presumably harder to get a debugger to recognize a magic struct than explicitly give it a type.
- There is this request by Robert Clipsham http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=100504.1. What's the state of this, it wouldn't be needed any longer. - We should contact http://www.zero-bugs.com, it is said to support the dwarf extensions and would need to be changed. - Find out who else is affected by changing the current extensions. - Fixing the D-ABI specification.
Are the issues in bugzilla?
- Are there other DWARF debuggers that we should take into account? - Adding a page to GNU wiki describing the D extensions. - We could probably use DW_TAG_GNU_template_parameter_pack for variadic template arguments. http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=C%2B%2B0x:_Variadic_templates martin
