a friend who's just getting into development on linux was reading the gcc manual and ran across the variety of available debugging formats here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html and asked me, out of all those formats, which was the "best" one to start working with. i suggested he'd be best off getting familiar with the DWARF 2 format, since fedora already comes with a yum-installable "dwarves" package containing various DWARF-related examination utilities. that seemed like an easy answer at the time, but is there a better choice? i realize stabs is still common but, in terms of being technically advanced, is DWARF 2 the most informative and most useful of the formats? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
