[Dwarf-Discuss] Using DWARF for C++ runtime reflection

Hi everyone, I'm working on a dynamic analysis tool that needs runtime reflection in C++. Since C++ has no standardized runtime reflection, I'm using DWARF as a source of reflection metadata. Is it a legitimate use-case from DWARF standard point of view? It has been working great for me until

Re: [Dwarf-Discuss] Using DWARF for C++ runtime reflection

Yes, assuming that the compiler generates a valid source type. In some cases, particularly with template classes, this may not be the case.  So DWARF does not give any guarantees and it's up to compiler vendor to decide about DW_AT_name? DWARF doesn't give
