No. However, there is this project: http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Index.html > Is there an example program that will read an executable image or .o > file and extract the type information stored there for the debugger? There are multiple debugging formats: STABS, DWARF, DWARFv2 and v3. The DWARF formats are current default for gcc on ELF platforms. The format specification is here: http://www.eagercon.com/dwarf/dwarf3std.htm It is quite complicated, but you can get an idea of how things are structured by compiling several simple examples, and studying output from "readelf -w a.out" It is quite doubtful that you'll be able to read executable image and extract type info without significant effort. However, libdwarf could help you quite a bit: http://reality.sgi.com/davea/dwarf.html Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
