An other interesting part of debug info (2.4.2 and trunk)
If I define a variable
var
Foo: ^TFoo;
then if no type "xxx=^TFoo" exists, both stabs and dwarf will write
debug info that contains "^TFoo"
(tested with ptype, and "maint print type")
But if a Type PFoo=^TFoo exists, then stabs will replace the debug info
and use PFoo.
dwarf still does ^TFoo
It is of course possible that the debugger goes a long way in finding
the matching info, but even the raw output of gdbs internals have the
substitute....
