Hi I'm now trying out stabs and dwarf debug info. With stabs all gdb symbols get filled with data like type (LOC_STATIC, LOC_REGISTER etc) and values (SYMBOL_VALUE, SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS). If the symbol gets evaluated only few target accesses are needed (registers, memory) for the final value. With dwarf this info is not stored expressively anymore if a symbol is of type LOC_COMPUTED or LOC_COMPUTED_ARG. Instead gdb will evaluate the dwarf debug "code" to return the value every time. I know that there may be symbol "locations" that are not representable with just 1 or 2 values. But still values such as register numbers or offsets will always be the same. So is there a way to somehow "preprocess" the dwarf info to get out the same info gdb stores when using the stabs info? Thanks bye Fabi
