GitHub - davea42/libdwarf-code: Contains source for libdwarf, a library for reading DWARF2 and later DWARF. Contains source to create dwarfdump, a program which prints DWARF2 and later DWARF in readable format. Has a very limited DWARF writer set of functions in libdwarfp (producer library). Builds using GNU configure, meson, or cmake. · GitHub
This is always recommended as it's not necessary to have GNU autotools installed. These examples show doing a build in a directory different than the source as that is generally recommended practice. Note: if you get a build failure that mentions something about test/ and missing .Po object files add --disable-dependency-tracking to the configure command. rm -rf /tmp/build mkdir /tmp/build cd /tmp tar xf <path to>/libdwarf-0.4.2.tar.xz cd /tmp/build /tmp/libdwarf-0.4.2/configure make make check

If libdwarf and dwarfdump complete their build you have most of the functionality you need. dwarfdump (written in C) lets you dump out, in readable form, the DWARF2, DWARF3, DWARF4, and some DWARF5 data from an object file. (the DWARF5 standard was released on dwarfstd.org in February 2017). There are some prerequisites you must have installed ...

sudo apt-get install libelf-dev libdwarf-dev

libdwarf: A Consumer Library Interface to DWARF
You can install anywhere, there is no need to install in a system directory! Creating a temporary directory and installing there suffices. If installed in appropriate system directories that works too. When compiling to link against a shared library libdwarf you must not define LIBDWARF_STATIC.
