Name : dwarves Product : Fedora 11 Version : 1.8 Release : 1.fc11 URL : http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/blog Summary : Debugging Information Manipulation Tools Description : dwarves is a set of tools that use the debugging information inserted in ELF binaries by compilers such as GCC, used by well known debuggers such as GDB, and more recent ones such as systemtap. Utilities in the dwarves suite include pahole, that can be used to find alignment holes in structs and classes in languages such as C, C++, but not limited to these. It also extracts other information such as CPU cacheline alignment, helping pack those structures to achieve more cache hits. A diff like tool, codiff can be used to compare the effects changes in source code generate on the resulting binaries. Another tool is pfunct, that can be used to find all sorts of information about functions, inlines, decisions made by the compiler about inlining, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New upstream release with several improvements and fixes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Dec 4 2009 Apr 23 2009 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> - 1.8-1 - New release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
