What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand and debug complex issues related to DWARF debug information, which is crucial for effective low-level debugging and performance analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect DWARF Sections: Learn to examine the various DWARF sections (.debug_info, .debug_line, etc.) within an ELF binary.
  • Utilize Debugging Tools: Master the use of dwarfdump, readelf, and llvm-dwarfdump for detailed inspection.
  • Handle Advanced Formats: Understand split DWARF (.dwo files) and how to use debuginfod for remote symbol resolution.
  • Troubleshoot LTO/Stripping: Diagnose issues arising from Link-Time Optimization (LTO) and symbol stripping affecting debug information.
  • Use Case: When GDB reports "no debugging symbols found" for a stripped binary, this Skill guides you through checking for separate debug files or using debuginfod to resolve the symbols.

Quick Start

Use the dwarf-debug-format skill to inspect the DWARF sections of the executable 'my_program'.
