libdwarf and dwarfdump are Free Software.
Please consider making a donation to support the libdwarf/dwarfdump project.
If someone can put me in contact with the original author (Crablicious) of the libdwarf-addr2line github project somehow I would appreciate it. Thanks.
The distribution consists of C and C++ source code that you compile with your C/C++ compiler (documentation is included).
The DWARF Debugging Information Format is of interest to programmers working on compilers and debuggers (and anyone interested in reading or writing DWARF information). It was developed by a committee (known as the PLSIG at the time) starting around 1991. Starting around 1991 SGI got involved with the committee and then developed the libdwarf and dwarfdump tools for SGI-internal use and as part of SGI IRIX developer tools. From around 1993 dwarfdump and libdwarf were shipped (as an executable and archive respectively, not source) with every release of the SGI MIPS/IRIX C compiler. In 1994 (I think the correct year) SGI agreed (at my request) to open-source libdwarf (and in 1999 to open-source dwarfdump) so anyone could use them.
BIG-ENDIAN system support has been provided by the IBM linuxone project starting in 2019. We now can test on a big-endian s390 system in a Linux VM. Thank you IBM. As of 06 October 2019 libdwarf dwarfdump and readelfobj/readobjpe/readobjmacho pass -all- tests on an IBM big endian machine, one is happy to report. Please advise of anything not working correctly!
In May 2019 we made the first release (20190505) with the option of building libdwarf and dwarfdump without any libelf. In November we implemented comprehensive testing across a variety of OSs and machines.
In September 2021 we fixed every problem Coverity Scan could find, and we continue to have zero defects.
License terms are mostly GPL (version 2) or LGPL (version 2.1). A few files use the FreeBSD (2-clause BSD) terms. The details are discussed in the license page.
DWARF specifications and the dwarf email forums are at http://www.dwarfstd.org. You can sign up for an email discussion list there.
Email about libdwarf and dwarfdump may be sent to libdwarf -at- linuxmail -dot- org (replace -at- and -dot- with the normal single characters to form the email address). [top]
Beginning May 4, 2014 a number of critical vulnerabilities in libdwarf and dwarfdump were reported as a result of fuzzing. Critical because these lead to serious difficulties where the application calling libdwarf could crash (segfault, etc), leading to a Denial of Service.
Then, starting in January 2023 a whole new set of tests for vulnerabilities, using direct calls to the API, were created. The fuzzer-library functions (the test source with the API calls being tested) are in the libdwarf-code/fuzz directory.
All the known vulnerabilities have been fixed.
For a list of the known vulnerabilities see https://www.prevanders.net/dwarfbug.html
https://www.prevanders.net/dwarfbug.xml is an xml version of the same data.
Coverity Scan uses synthetic execution to look for defects.
ci builds on Linux, Freebsd, MacOS, and Windows msys2
using configure, cmake, and meson.
Regression testing runs about twenty thousand checks comparing the last good dwarfdump versus the latest version. With all dwarfdump options exercised to touch as many code paths in libdwarf as possible. And involving numerous corrupted objects to check error code paths.
The regression tests are run in 32-bit and 64-bit environments (machines or virtual machines). Most environments are little-endian but one environment is 64-bit big-endian.
Running scripts/buildandreleasetest.sh demonstrates that a build and a test release libdwarf-<version>.xz and then build out of the a test release works and a second release build of libdwarf-<version>.xz from the first such contains the same files as the initial libdwarf-<version>.xz The script verifies cmake (with some cmake options tested) and meson work out of the test release too.
After relevant pushes to github we run a github workflow as an independent verification things build. The status of each test is shown above.
Coverity Scan is run before every release (and sometimes more frequently) to ensure there are no faults found by its synthetic execution of the source code.
An open source tool named github.com/nimble-code/Cobra does source scanning and finds instances of C coding that is not following best-practices. For example, it finds macro arguments are not inside parentheses at the use inside the macro. It detects many different things, reporting where best-practices were overlooked. Sometimes its pattern-matching mentions things that are not real issues, so one has to apply judgement. But it's quite useful. The best-practices lead to greater code consistency and readability (and sometimes reveal a bug).
Up through mid-2021 releases were identified by an ISO date such as 20210528. This makes the release date clear but gives no clue what the differences are between releases.
Transitioning from ISO date to semantic versioning is be done in a way that will be generally understood, a way consistent with standard practice.
Semantic versioning, a more standard release id, is a triple of numbers like x.y.z meaning major.minor.micro (some projects add suffixes). See Software Versioning. Also see the formal definition in semver.org
If api is changed or removed, ++major, minor = micro = 0 If api is added ++minor, micro = 0 If bug is fixed ++micro
This form makes clear the changes.
Since mid-2021 libdwarf verioning has been exclusively Semantic Versioning.
Once libdwarf has a stable API the version will change from 0.n.m to 2.n.m because with date versioning gcc generated shared objects as 1.0.0 so those wishing to have multiple versions present want 1.x.x reserved.
It's now common for libraries to provide a .pc file which provides useful information for library builders and library users. See the pkg-config command and Pkg-config on wikipedia.
During the conversion to Semantic Versioning in 2021 the source tree was converted to the mostly-standard source structure shown here.
libdwarf-code/

The Meson build system is python-like, is much much faster than configure or cmake, and is easier to work with once one is past an initial learning curve.
The original functional interfaces to create DWARF data, the producer interfaces required casting to determine success/failure. The old ugly requires-casting interfaces have been removed.
Many consumer interfaces appear in multiple versions. For example, dwarf_next_cu_header(), dwarf_next_cu_header_b() dwarf_next_cu_header_c(), and dwarf_next_cu_header_d(). In all cases the one with highest letter (_d in this example) will be kept and the earlier ones were deleted as the earlier ones do not handle all of DWARF<n> for some <n>.
In nearly every case the differences are very small: The addition of an argument to handle a DWARF Standard change was the motivation for all of them, and in many cases simply passing 0 for the new argument works like the older versions (though that is not recommended practice since it won't deal with some recent DWARF5 fully).
The following are no longer used or needed: HAVE_OLD_FRAME_CFA_COL and HAVE_SGIDEFS_H HAVE_ELF_OPEN HAVE_GLOBAL_ALLOC_SUMS HAVE_NONSTANDARD_PRINTF_64_FORMAT HAVE_SGI_IRIX_OFFSETS HAVE_STRICT_DWARF2_32BIT_OFFSET HAVE_DWARF2_99_EXTENSION In addition HAVE_STDLIB_H HAVE_STDDEF_H HAVE_STRING_H are no longer needed, those are standard headers beginning with C89/C90 so are assumed present.
Because tsearch() itself is not universally available (and even when tsearch() is available tdestroy() is sometimes not available) I implemented some tree algorithms using the standard tsearch interface definitions.
For more information see the tsearch page
See https://github.com/davea42/tsearch-code
The basic four tsearch standard interface declarations are quite old, traditional, incompletely documented, hard to use, and not at all what anyone would design as an interface today. But these four functions are declared in the Posix/SingleUnixSpecification standard so we support them.
The algorithms implemented are binary tree, binary tree with Eppinger delete, balanced binary tree, red black tree, and a hashing (non-tree) version). The function interfaces implemented include tsearch(), tdelete(), tdestroy(), tfind(), and twalk().
To avoid conflicts with standard library versions all the function names are prefixed with dwarf_. Libdwarf and dwarfdump use the new tsearch.
Four object tools are included. Three print object section header information. They all read object files and report information about the sections and content.
For more information see the readelfobj page
See https://github.com/davea42/readelfobj-code for the README and to download a release.
readelfobj prints Elf object headers. It has options to print details on more than just section headers.
readobjmacho prints MachO object headers relevant to DWARF information.
readobjpe prints PE (Windows) object headers. relevant to DWARF information.
object_detector decides if a given object is Elf, MachO, or PE and returns information saying which format it is or reports the format is unknown.
The indent-checking tool
dicheck is
useful in case you make source changes and want
to preserve proper libdwarf indentation.
See more details on
the github page for the tool.
Clone a copy of the source code with
"git clone https://github.com/davea42/libdwarf-dicheck"
which creates and populates a directory named "libdwarf-dicheck".
All libdwarf distributions contain C source plus the DWARF2 specification plus libdwarf specifications. Implementors often extend DWARF by adding new attributes and other things. Those that we are aware of are defined in dwarf.h which is provided here for reference. If you have corrections or additions, please let me know! The file is in every distribution of libdwarf.
Beginning 14 May 2021 libdwarf source code is available via anonymous access from github with the project history that was on Sourceforge. Sourceforge no longer contains libdwarf source.
"git clone https://github.com/davea42/libdwarf-code"
initializes a git repository in the local directory it will
create named "code"
and populates it with
the most up to date libdwarf source.
See the README and README.md for the new June 2021
build instructions.
Since github has programmable APIs you may wish
to switch to accessing the project from github.
Since 19 March 2011 libdwarf source code has been available
via anonymous access with git from SourceForge.net.
As of June 2021 those wishing to see the latest
should use github.com as the source because
sourceforge.net is not up to date with
the libdwarf source.
The git source code is the reference source: it may have
features or fixes not in a tar.xz release, but if so the
features or fixes are not needed by most people.
Top-of-trunk code in the git repository has been fully tested.
See the github clone command above.
Here is a complete build example using github. Note that these instructions are not up to date with top of trunk. To save space here, we are not building optional programs and not doing any checking for failure at any step. In some environments configure options may be necessary, but none are shown in this example. Later sections here on building show some additional configure options.
# github example git clone https://github.com/davea42/libdwarf-code # See a README in the distribution for further instructions.
Some small object tools are available in source via anonymous access. See the readelfobj page for details.
The libdwarf/dwarfdump
regression tests
(which you really don't need or want)
are available
via
"git clone https://github.com/davea42/libdwarf-regressiontests"
which creates and populates a directory named "regressiontests".
The "regressiontests" directory should appear in the same directory
as the "code" source code directory as the regression test
scripts reach around to the source at certain points.
As of 09 November 2020 the regression tests can be
run in a temporary directory with something like
mkdir /tmp/dwtests cd /tmp/dwtests /path-to/regressiontests/configure make
The libdwarf build process involves a simple traditional approach (at least for personal use, people generating binary releases or a corporate library will have their own internal requirements to consider). In the base directory of the source distribution (either expanded from a tar.gz or from git) do the following:
./configure make
If all goes well, this will build libdwarf and dwarfdump.
It's common to do the build in a separate directory. As an example of building all the executables using a separate directory, do something like:
# Assuming the source top-level is in /path/to/libdwarf-20180809 mkdir /tmp/bld cd /tmp/bld /path/to/libdwarf-20180809/configure --enable-dwarfexample --enable-dwarfgen make
which will build libdwarf, dwarfdump, dwarfgen, and dwarfexample in a minute or two. You don't need dwarfgen or dwarfexample. If libdwarf and dwarfdump complete their build you have most of the functionality you need. dwarfdump (written in C) lets you dump out, in readable form, the DWARF2, DWARF3, DWARF4, and some DWARF5 data from an object file. (the DWARF5 standard was released on dwarfstd.org in February 2017).
There are some prerequisites you must have installed on your build machine:
C compiler (Conformant with the 1989 or later C standard. Support for the 'long long' datatype is required.) C++ compiler (only needed to build dwarfgen) libelf is optional (however it is required to build dwarfgen) zlib (if your compiler uses compressed sections) See the top-level README in the source for specific references for libelf and zlib.
Contact the libdwarf email address before attempting to contribute any code.
On Windows Use of one of the POSIX-like environments like mingw or cygwin or the like will ease your way. You may find cmake very useful on Windows.
The regression test build process involves rather more work, and few will want to bother with it. There is no tar.gz available, you have to use git. In the base directory of the regressiontests distribution do the following (if the base of the libdwarf source tree is at ../code this should work, but if not see the regressiontests/README.txt file):
Rather than keeping known-good output in the regression-tests, we keep a dwarfdump.O (O for Old) to compare its output against the new dwarfdump. We do it this way as the test output is much too large to save.
To run the dwarfextract test successfully, bfd.h needs to be installed in a standard place, so install binutils-dev (or the equivalent for your release) to get bfd.h. We do not link to the bfd library.
In the regressiontests directory do the following.
./configure make
In the code directory there is a test script that does all the tests including building releases, using cmake and more as well as running the regression tests.
sh scripts/run-all-tests.sh >& /tmp/results # The following is a passing run. grep FAIL /tmp/results # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 # XFAIL: 0 # FAIL: 0 FAIL 0 FAIL 0 FAIL 0 FAIL 0 in run-all-tests.sh
grep FAIL /tmp/results should show all zeros (there should be about 18 lines)
On a modern 3GHz-cpu Linux environment running directly on the host the tests should run in about 35 minutes and the final message should say PASS. Running in a KVM Virtual Machine the tests run in 45 minutes or more. Unless all the components in the libdwarf source build correctly the tests cannot pass.
Unless you are running Ubuntu GNU/Linux or FreeBSD 12 on a i386- or X86_64-compatible cpu you may have more work to do to run the tests, partly because the tests depend on having a known-good version of dwarfdump in the distribution.
If the Ubuntu or FreeBSD dwarfdump executables in the distribution won't run in your test environment you could build dwarfdump.O to run tests:
As of release 0.3.1 releases are also available for download from the github libdwarf page
| filename, download-link | Bytes | Reason for release |
|---|---|---|
| libdwarf-0.11.0.tar.xz | 2727148 |
Date: 2024-08-15 Added function dwarf_get_ranges_baseaddress() to the api to allow dwarfdump and other library callers to easily derive the (cooked) address from the raw data in the DWARF2, DWARF3, DWARF4 .debug_ranges section. An example of use is in doc/checkexamples.c (see examplev). Made various small improvements in code clarity and consistency. md5sum: 3dab70d5f953acde7fcdd76230f210e0 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 050cb111c1ed94980357011a623190b6 26b68425639ee1ab39ab09a31d0cc55e 557ef35739ce1295cf0e1b51848fbcbb 3633fe1f6466784db6d8eb008a93c355 |

Date: 2024-07-01 Release 0.10.0 is defective, do not use it. A new doc/CMakeLists.txt file was left out and there were problems with the Version: in libdwarf.pc created by cmake or configure. md5sum: dbbcc719f052d1c4a8af4c1bce809886 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 790317bd81290fa297d19cc6086594f1 3ea3be8b34d9e3c3494387498f8039d6 c7f20fd3628a73ed4442868666600c78 fe9cddad4e459e5dfffb14cc0cc4d588 |
| libdwarf-0.10.0.tar.xz | withdrawn |
Date: 2024-06-24 Corrected the handling of DWARF5 .debug_rnglists and .debug_loclists. Has a mistake in generating libdwarf.pc and that leads to user build failures (when using pkg-config to find the correct shared libdwarf). md5sum: sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): |
| libdwarf-0.9.2.tar.xz | 2692848 |
Date: 2024-04-02 Fixed four vulnerabilities that could crash the library (segmentation violation etc) reading specific corruptions to DWARF. DW202402-001, DW202402-002,DW202402-003, and DW202403-001. Now the library returns an error code for those.

| libdwarf-0.9.1.tar.xz | 2677488 |
Date: 2024-01-27 Altered the type of the return value of dwarf_die_abbrev_code() and dwarf_get_section_count() from int to Dwarf_Unsigned for consistency (should always have been this way). Problems reading Mach-o (Apple) relocatable object files are fixed. All three build systems have a option to turn off use of decompression libraries, see README.md and READMEcmake.md. All type warnings from MSVC are fixed. md5sum: 744022c8b3c4ff693fbdc3247654400d sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): ec66f0dbc72df3dd689a2d38ebae029e 081e0ec3008dd510372e0c2c387f0092 c2f9fe8d9928ded87b9c2ec30f1c3dc6 3bfaca7cc4a14e1c8c557d3c3b37d227 |
| libdwarf-0.9.0.tar.xz | 2718492 |
Date: 2023-12-08 Added support for reading Apple MacOS universal binaries. Added callers access to certain fields from object files (for all three supported object formats), and added the --print-machine-arch option to dwarfdump to show the fields. Three functions were added to the API, see the Changes section of the latest documentation or in libdwarf.pdf in the release. No functions were deleted or had their meaning changed. Vulnerabilities found by fuzzing were fixed. See the dwarfbug page for vulnerability details. md5sum: 4b36d4b3031f8937b7c408d2eed221ed sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 282d90dfc9da704eb64a4ba1141f2ae6 60feeb14bbf1a72377386698e3124928 b44a6914d8e88e6141ab08835ce723ad 090a853ad57dbcb439dbba57255fb589 |
| libdwarf-0.8.0.tar.xz | 2653240 |
Date: 2023-09-20 The release fixes many vulnerabilities from corrupt DWARF and/or corrupt Elf. Two new functions are added for DWARF Frame access to get the correct sign of an argument (the pre-existing functions remain in place and working avoiding any need for recompilation or relinking of user code). See the dwarfbug page for vulnerability details. md5sum: 5fcb91c6be7d99bc5a60c1347e19d0ab sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 82aa00b6fd5e8935fdc4b7d55379667f b9c514e75763109ea18a7cf7d9c1077e e0eb30d7482fa7d3621df44853bea0d1 5fde6cb846723bfb47752869e9687145 |
| libdwarf-0.7.0.tar.xz | 2506816 |
Date: 2023-05-20 The release fixes more than 50 vulnerabilities from corrupt DWARF and/or corrupt Elf. See the dwarfbug page for the details. The library now supports Elf with very large numbers of sections (which introduces an incompatibilty for the very few users calling dwarf_object_init_b() and dwarf_object_finish()). This release deletes an unnecessary and unuseable pair of functions reading the .debug_names section. Additional detail on the changes is in the Recent Changes section of libdwarf.pdf and the latest html version. md5sum: e4310665e6fb5c6389f2df3ca71aad22 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 0fe027e517551d138c15695ffdebe2df bb0e89184fc0cc93bed5c342cd1cd901 dc23f6b2aa8643ec8e62808cbdc0d943 89fe44438c694d19c45c6a7367e8f7af |
| libdwarf-0.6.0.tar.xz | 2437352 |
Date: 2023-02-20 Fixes for Denial Of Service (possible libdwarf crash): The dealloc required for dwarf_offset_list() was incorrect, possibly leading to a crash. The function prototype for dwarf_dietype_offset() changed so it can work correctly on DWARF4 objects. A memory leak from dwarf_load_loclists() has been fixed. The function dwarf_get_pubtypes() changed, Dwarf_Type no longer exists, correcting a library design mistake made in 1993. And the set of functions using Dwarf_Type are gone, use Dwarf_Global instead. An object with DW_FORM_strx3 (DWARF5) could result in the library either crashing or returning an inappropriate error. DW_FORM_strx3 is now handled properly. md5sum: f076a486baaa19ccf0063a8cefd242df sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 839ba5e4162630ad804d76bd2aa86f35 780a178dcda110106a5ee4fb27807fdf 45f12e8bbb399ff53721121d0169a733 35898f94218a1853116bb106dd455950 |
| libdwarf-0.5.0.tar.xz | 2477032 |
Date: 2022-11-22 The handling of the .debug_abbrev data in libdwarf is now more cpu-efficient (measurably faster) so access to DIEs and attribute lists is faster. Corrects CU and TU indexes in the .debug_names section to be zero based as it is required to be. dwarf_get_globals() now returns a list of Dwarf_Global names and DIE offsets whether such are defined in the .debug_names or .debug_pubnames section or both. A new function, dwarf_global_tag_number(), returns the DW_TAG of any Dwarf_Global that was derived from the .debug_names section. Three new functions enable printing of the .debug_addr table. dwarf_debug_addr_table(), dwarf_debug_addr_by_index(), and dwarf_dealloc_debug_addr_table(). md5sum: a1f0fdb716386f32ebe67430a99aaf77 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 53ef7062deacaac2c8a7c829699ee53c 88c7865437a54b70b2807da3f24cee13 083b5bdd16bcc7ba6e194a271c23860e 75cf92c2cc61ec94a7da837f4ee794e2 |
| libdwarf-0.4.2.tar.xz | 2419592 |
Date: 2022-09-13 Fixed libdwarf crashes in certain fuzzed object files. Fixed all known instances of leaks in dwardump and libdwarf, so neither valgrind nor -fsanitize can find leaks, even when malloc is failing due to running out of memory. dwarfdump no longer prints anything to stderr, all output goes to stdout (libdwarf never prints anything). md5sum: c61686e6b1b801df7ec830edc365cdfd sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 6d2a3ebf0104362dd9cecec272935684 f977db119810eea0eec88c9f56a042f2 60a4f6ed3bbabde8592fe16f98cbd81b 4ab2878005140e05c8f475df6380d1c2 |
| libdwarf-0.4.1.tar.xz | 2410800 |
Date: 2022-06-25. Two places where a carefully corrupted object file could result in libdwarf crashing a caller due to referencing memory outside the intended read area have been fixed (DW202205-001 and DW202206-001). One related to DW_FORM_ref_sig8, the other to the .debug_pubnames section. The library now accepts DW_AT_entry_pc in a CU DIE as a base address when DW_AT_low_pc is missing (an extension used by a current compiler). Added function dwarf_suppress_debuglink_crc() to allow callers to turn off doing a CRC calculation reading GNU debuglink data (saves time for library users accessing near-identical builds). md5sum: b9dd9cc1378181728c096f186a654ba2 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 793fe487de80fe6878f022b90f49ec33 4a0d7db071ff22a11902db5e3457cc7f 3f853945a9ac74de2c40f7f388277f21 c5b2e62745bca92d2bb55c51e9577693 |
| libdwarf-0.4.0.tar.xz | 2380228 |
Date: 2022-04-12. Made changes to 6 interfaces to make three dealloc functions be named with a pattern consistent with the rest of libdwarf, a function reverted to a pre-DWARF5 version for correctness, and changes to the .debug_names API functions to enable full access to the section. See details in the Recent Changes section of libdwarf.pdf. dwarfdump now prints all the information in .debug_names with --print-debug-names. md5sum: 46ffe13978494488f1f70bdc46610718 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 30e5c6c1fc95aa28a014007a45199160 e1d9ba870b196d6f98e6dd21a349e9bb 31bba1bd6817f8ef9a89303bed056218 2a7d46fcbb36aedded76c2f1e0052e1e |
| libdwarf-0.3.4.tar.xz | 2345036 |
Date: 2022-02-23. Fixed a bug in test scripts so 'make check -j8' will work properly. Fixed a bug where reading a PE (Windows) object could fail for certain section virtual size values. Added initializers to two uninitialized local variables in dwarfdump source so a compiler warning will not kill a --enable-wall build. Replaced the libdwarf.pdf content, it is now generated by doxygen and latex and has a proper table of contents and index. Added support for the meson build system. Added dwarfexample/showsectiongroups.c so one can see libdwarf's interpretation of section groups; making it simple to use libdwarf when section groups are important (relevant for Split Dwarf and COMDAT sections). md5sum: 6e06a645c5a04fd3c03a31f95914e546 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 6957e6c696428b7e59c57e48279528ff 602c49ab9833e56a4722f173240eb137 3ddd20f5c9dae7c25cc64e6c2131d3b7 b5abcf3c12614b88858bdc353a441359 |

| libdwarf-0.3.1.tar.xz | 1989760 |
Date: 2021-11-24. libdwarf-0.3.1 has improvements in detecting corrupted Elf and MachO object files. The release adds a new function dwarf_get_frame_instruction_a() that enables access to new LLVM frame extension instructions involved in Heterogeneous Debugging (the new instructions have one more operand than any other frame instructions). The existing dwarf_get_frame_instruction() works on all frames and unless one is doing Heterogeneous Debugging one should continue using dwarf_get_frame_instruction(). dwarf_get_frame_instruction() was new in libdwarf-0.3.0 and is the first libdwarf function to enable extracting frame (CIE/FDE) instructions in detail without fiddling with the bit-structure in DWARF frame instructions. md5sum: 0c862e8bd1df80df6683ec889d8be68d sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): dd82174bcb36c32be564be747898ef09 aaaa5ecc84d211bac725edf9ba55008b 3942452d6684da79a320289986b45e16 4bbeefb5a07658daf473b143dfe40f2b |

Date: 2021-10-30. Release 0.3.0 passes coverity scan with no errors/warnings. All known problems with functional interfaces have been fixed, no further changes are planned. All useless public structures in libdwarf.h have been removed, and no further changes to public structs will be made. In other words, aside from adding new interfaces where such are missing, this libdwarf.h and libdwarf are now stable. The doc/libdwarf.pdf documentation now documents all available library functions and only those functions. md5sum: 09f1c330fe4c1cdf08a644b7ded6f79 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 775c5e8089d13ad1602f24fad51502fb 40d9e2ae281f523def7d066c876228e1 a71d6d04b7d89df1d65e664b56beddaf 992939d8606fed743a5b5264e6bf7f53 |

Date: 2021-09-20. Release 0.2.0 passes coverity scan with no errors/warnings. The release changes some libdwarf initialization functions to a form suitable for DWARF2-DWARF5 (by removing pointless arguments). All obsolete function interfaces have been removed (they all have modern replacements with similar spelling). Aside from a single function, dwarf_expand_frame_instructions() (which only works for DWARF2 and will be replaced), all functions are usable for all DWARF2-DWARF5.

Tested against the full regressiontests. DO NOT use the function dwarf_skip_leb128, which appears in this release libdwarf.h for the first time and is dropped from 0.1.2. It is not documented.

Date: 2021-05-31 This is a first release with a new source and build directory structure, and the first tarball with a semantic-version identity and no other changes from 20210528. Soon there will be major revisions. Here the main documentation is renamed libdwarf.pdf, libdwarf no longer uses libelf, and dwarfdump no longer reads archive (<name>.a) files. The Elf object-file printing features have been removed from dwarfdump (the -E and -o options). Interested parties might like to give this a try. Fully tested against the full regressiontests. md5sum: c6ff9739abc361c5a3ff6b208f6fc7d7 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 9e8149a8548e31a08acade31be796899 94fd7e635c9be8ace7a6c47b1f8e7b77 b2e3c9cf452a39a013442562b49fc1fc 04b9535fec5f9fa90df3e7fcb43fe27f |

This release adds summary information on attribute/form-class uses and attribute/forms use to the existing option -ku summary on tags and attributes. Dwarfdump verifies many attribute references are usable and prints a little from the target DIE, including with DW_FORM_ref_sig8 references. Now dwarf.h shows many more extensions (added by compiler developers) to the TAGs and ATtributes defines. Alongside releases is a pdf, libdwarf2.1xl.pdf (xl.pdf as it is extra-large), that is the same as the latest libdwarf2.1.pdf but with the table-of-contents at the front, not the back, of the pdf. Created an experiment, it is around 15MB so seemed too large to place it in the release or to do multiple versions.

Corrected the printing of DWARF5 line tables, rnglists, and loclists. Now follows GNU debuglink rules to find the object file with debug in it (when that applies). A new dwarf_init_path_dl() function gives callers needing every feature of GNU debuglink flexibility the required new arguments. Added checks to catch corrupted Elf and PE objects as soon as possible. See the introduction in dwarfdump.1 for a short overview of GNU debuglink, DWARF5 split-dwarf, and MacOS dSYM. md5sum: 7008bd7f88c6e1988ecf562758c5a0d6 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 5c1078440c4afc255ce9597e1fca9661 5b9b41c88fe33c18a1fdc140ec1dee83 5bd926473535fcacb2f8d3c8fd63349c 24e89e71a2d1a2319408a970f7bfa320 |

Added some tag-tag and tag-attribute relationships for DWARF5 and some common extensions to their relationship lists so the -k options do not report these as issues to check. Now libdwarf reads and dwarfdump can print the DWARF5 .debug_sup section. And similarly for .debug_gnu_pubnames, .debug_gnu_pubtypes. A bug in dwarfdump that could lead to a small one-time memory leakage is now fixed fixed. md5sum: e478a0ab5626d553828c95d09dbdaade sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): d474482a7391ca660fa08c2f52ef1c29 61b7c2e7e5b92bf733a9996b7f610ec2 27ff6ea00401f0b4fcd897552fc3b0b0 54e706a36aaffe10841a383391e013a0 |

It is now straightforward to build a libdwarf and dwarfdump that do not rely on libelf yet will read and process Elf object files. The build with configure is simplified as much unneeded code has been removed. For example all uses and configuration of __UINT32_t and other related integer types have been removed. The cmake build is simplified with configure-isms removed and now works better with MinGW, MSVC, and systems with struct _Elf (example: FreeBSD). Code calling the libelf-only interfaces dwarf_elf_init() and dwarf_elf_init_b() will, when the called libdwarf was built without libelf, get an immediate error return. md5sum: f6b55c3036742922210f97950da9778f sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 0bd22bc62c72819198917a7fd2585905 2913e38bd2b09a73ccaa8e57c9ed072b 8f14763c5b34b6dcb91e9f904535ced1 122cfd9d5e036d07508c478b30522726 |

News 2018-07-31. While usable there are issues here: make install does not install the dwarfdump.1 man page . make install installs more into /usr/local/share/libdwarf than was really intended. libdwarf.so shows as version 1.5.0 which was not intended. Replacement coming soon. But if the issues don't matter to you it's fine to use. Replaces 20180723. This release has the new configure. The configure options are mostly identical to previous releases. See the README in the top-level. Profound thanks to Vincent Torri for writing the new configure (any mistakes here are undoubtedly mine, though). Thanks to Hannes Domani for applying Coverity to libdwarf which identified over twenty previously-unknown bugs quite precisely (all fixed now).

NOT A NORMAL RELEASE: this is a test release that will be added to Sourceforge on or after July 17, 2018. It uses a completely rewritten configure setup that uses automake and libtool yet one uses configure almost identically to releases of the past; the point is easier source maintenance and additional automation. It passes the usual tests on both Ubuntu 16.04 and FreeBSD 11.1 with 32bit and 64bit pointer environments. See the top-level README. This source is not on Sourceforge, it is only available in this .tar.gz Try it out. Let us know of any difficulties. Make install fails to install dwarf.h and libdwarf.h .

Begins to support the DWARF5 .debug_names section and other DWARF5 changes. (not tested, no test cases yet available). Now supports DWARF5 split dwarf sensibly. The few new function interfaces can be ignored by those not needing split dwarf support. The tools can now be built with cmake (the default build is still with configure), thank you Dvir Yitzchaki. Carlos Alberto-Enciso, Emre Kultursay, Marcel Bohme, Van-Thuan Pham, and Alexandr Terekhov all noted bugs or vulnerabilities and these are all fixed. md5sum: 6a53d2b55d3ee2da396d4d0711e5c251 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 85be7ec806029200648514b965e23e163a54cbdc6f2 feba0d4cc96180bab441f85d22640c7a96d6350b8f8 749b7bcbe2f0f1af0865f9a427f2acce5135c4e630 |

Fixes serious bugs in release 20160929 and all earlier releases relating to encoding/decoding leb numbers. It is unlikely anyone will see any difference in output, but values showing a difference can be constructed. libdwarf/dwarf_leb.c has new test code and a few of the tests there demonstrated problems. gcc -fsanitize=undefined found problems as well. md5sum: f9f23ebc20f82dabcd5c61507092fcac sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 2c522ae0b6e2afffd09e2e79562987fd819b197c9b ce4900b6a4fd176b5ff229e88c6b755cfbae7831e7 160ddeb3bfe2afbf39d756d7e75ec31ace0668554048 |

DO NOT USE: use libdwarf-20161001 instead. Think of this as withdrawn. Many improvements in the code catching corrupt dwarf. Quite a number of places with out-of-bound read/write of memory fixed. Trivial but annoying memory leaks in dwarfdump fixed. Thanks to Puzzor, STARLAB, Salvatore Bonaccorso, Agostino Sarubbo, Vul, James Grumbach, and others for reporting memory corruption and other issues. md5sum: 4818ffb3f682e6ade023458a4f43e760 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 941c16dd487e152e34f83a8d1f5eb2992fb8c9fb7a 6309c7c33825267c95614c2a07ef24b205de287344 9b16df1749f9e9a0b9d1c85b64a635180ade073aeb66 |

Incorporates code detecting malformed DWARF and malformed Elf object files. Dwarfdump and libdwarf performance reading frame data improved significantly, though the improvements don't apply to all frame data interface functions. The configure/make system now builds libdwarf shared objects (when asked to) with a proper soname. Thanks to Sture Carlson, Hannes Domani, etienneberg, Steve Kaufman, Yue Liu, and Fabian Wolff for their help/comments on libdwarf.

Support for reading Split Dwarf object files provided. New location and location-list interfaces added for Split Dwarf and DWARF5. Uses new functions to pass location list data to callers, not publicly defined structures, as functions make any future changes to location information easier to support. Existing DWARF 2,3,4 location information interfaces retained for compatibility so existing calling code is not affected.. md5sum: 99809436d7494607bd3c296d8b17ebc0 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 22c6a233cf156f3e7a8ad65c6b0f3c6b0de5a7ddc0f 1c71c9b2dc7efa59a4ee1c9714e981bb26d40a0c212 7501a3e853a7605af10be96bdcb0486723d4a1443c |

Corrected accidental C99-isms, added missing return statements, and improved checking. Thanks to Carlos Alberto Enciso for these enhancements. I suggest using the git source base, it has some small fixes beyond this release related to new code for the .debug_addr and the .debug_str_offsets sections (DWARF5) and for reading gcc experimental two-level line tables.. Thanks to Emre Kultursay for encouraging me to add some needed DWARF5 features and for reporting bugs so the git source base gets corrected quickly. md5sum: 08d243ea44e39ceb15f72c1066857cc1 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): a567e653fdad598d911e2ed7e219945adbf0f00ef 8e81806e993916aacfc8075657ec3ca925e1efa85 c7860a0d9515cae2b04677dfb25ac416fb4cc47933441a |

Strings are checked thoroughly to ensure they do not run off the end of their section without a termination and cause chaos in libdwarf. Now with DWARF5 (and DWARF4) Debug Fission support, so one can nearly transparently (see dwarf_set_tied_dbg()) extract addresses denoted DW_FORM_addrx in a package file from the executable with the .debug_addr section. Withdrawn as 20150915 has this and more. md5sum: sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): |

Now with DWARF5 (and DWARF4) Package File reader support. Package Files are a way to keep DWARF debug information in a separate object file.

Improved range checking. Fixed bugs in dwgetopt(). Added omitted tags and attributes lists in dwarfdump to make error checking more accurate. Where pc checks make no sense in a line table (meaning on DW_TAG_type_unit and children) such dwarfdump checks are now omitted. md5sum: 5707b4b15c33211ef1312e2c47fda713 sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): 983c0bb5d70f59e95b8b9de9cda74d714795526220 ac944b6e058554b1f1e831063ae5524d6a2de557e1 fe829ccbf17b1ab71195fa5589504ead3d94396ab0a4 |

The omission of an include of stdarg.h in the 20150112 release meant that standard-conforming compilers could get an error compiling dwarfdump due to va_list not being defined, though Ubuntu and FreeBSD compiles did not see such an error. Now dwarfdump does the include. The dwarfdump2 source has been removed as of this tar.gz file.

Source incompatibility for users of producer code: dwarf_producer_init() now has a new interface and a sensible way to select the output ABI/ISA for relocation numbers.

Radically simplifies libdwarf allocation code. Adds GNU-specific DW_FORM codes so recent gcc objects can be read usefully. Adds tsearch implementations (see the tsearch directory). Removes trailing whitespace (it appeared all over). Adds new functions to libdwarf for new DWARF reference types. The tsearch test cases have bloated this source release, but in future those test cases won't be in the tar file (instead they are in the libdwarf regressiontests repository on Sourceforge). md5sum: ad758cf1715fc170ff248efc085feebe sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): d41ebe4e7b76ad91f93b17e33da878fb0a35d7a35 32d641108b217bf93bcd9f10c1d52f0dd5f2ece08 3152d8dafe637ae343633f894122cbb77825b7a3350ed2 |

A mistake in handling DW_OP_GNU_const_type could lead to a libdwarf coredump at times, and even when it appeared to work the value printed was wrong. Thanks to Tom Hughes and Andrew Bernat for pointing out the DW_OP_GNU_const_type problem. This release has libdwarf interfaces compatible with releases before 20130125. Compared to 20130125 this restores the libdwarf.h interface Dwarf_Loc structure and changes the way the lr_number2 member is used for the new location expression operator DW_OP_GNU_const_type. md5sum: ded74a5e90edb5a12aac3c29d260c5db sha512sum (remove spaces following colon): c9911ce0b9725400ec1a70e809e185b122095c534f05687 ea0be16a0e9bfe3b8128e353834c43b5fe80e1b149b11 f113fcce53c57bad0a12b3b091dd0e31d043 |

Every release of libdwarf/dwarfdump is tested with many options and option-combinations. There is no real reason libdwarf/dwarfdump users should need to redo this testing work. However, if you do wish to try running the regression tests, you will find them in git in Sourceforge via anonymous access "git clone https://github.com/davea42/libdwarf-regressiontests" See the file README.txt in the base directory of the tests for an overview of the test process. We do not provide a tar file of the regression tests. The regression tests are updated with every libdwarf release.
Additional tests (simple object files or shared-objects or executables) are accepted here should you wish to submit such, but the goal is to add tests that represent previously-untested aspects of DWARF/libdwarf, not to duplicate existing tests. Smallish object files are preferred. No source need be provided. The submitter has to be sure, and state, that releasing the objects here is appropriate.
Nothing in libdwarf looks at very many sections of an Elf file: the other section contents can be zeroed out without affecting the object use for testing libdwarf (see the directory named 'zero' in the testing distribution for a convenient byte-zeroing helper application in C++ source). Sections like .text and .data (and closely related sections) are of no value for testing libdwarf. It may be that otherwise-proprietary objects can be released for use in this test suite once the instruction and data sections are zeroed out.
