Sure, there's also elfutils (readelf is a part of that) which contains code that parses dwarf line info.. but line info is fairly non-trivial, its based on a state machine and might not be as simple as seek and read.. DWARF specs are very well written though so that should help. -Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
