I use pyelftools to get DW_AT_type of DW_TAG_variable, but sometimes the value is incorrect.

> It would really be nice if that was documented somewhat more obvious or with an example. Feel free to send a PR adding an example

Disagreement between objdump and pyelftools on DW_TAG_typedef::DW_AT_type

I don't see your input file. Can you provide it and say explicitly where the mismatch is? Or can this be reproduced on one of my samples? If yes, can...

Disagreement between objdump and pyelftools on DW_TAG_typedef::DW_AT_type

Thanks for the report. PRs to fix this are welcome.

elf relocation looks incorrect in elf_relocation example script

Add support for DWARF version 5

Version 0.28 was released with all the latest stuff inside

ELF file for ARM is not properly supported.

There's definitely _some_ support for ARM there - we have arm files for the readelf comparison tests; but maybe this particular functionality is not supported (applying relocations in dwarf). Patches...
