Support for parsing .debug_types section to support DWARFv4

Open dinkar1208 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Compilers with DWARFv4 support (eg:- IAR embedded workbench) tend to put enums and typedefs present in header files into the .debug_types section. I would be good to have support to parse this section as well.

Without support for this section, readelf fails to decode debug_info section as it attempts to read hash signatures (DW_FORM_ref_sig8) as abbrev_table offsets.
