Or is it that you know the answer now, and it would've been easier/faster to find if the examples had been more explicit? (it seems there's limited ambiguity from section 7 - such that the examples don't need to clarify much in this regard, but yeah - seems OK to me that they could describe the header now that the header's a bit more complicated) > > There are relevant explanations where in Section 7 (search for unit_type) > but I do wish the examples showed unit_type. > > I'm trying to determine the extent to which libdwarf is correct, and where > wrong or incomplete I intend to fix it. > > Comments? > David Anderson > > > _______________________________________________ > Dwarf-Discuss mailing list > Dwarf-Discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org > http://lists.dwarfstd.org/listinfo.cgi/dwarf-discuss-dwarfstd.org >
