[Dwarf-discuss] LSB DWARF Chapter

[Stuart Anderson]

The next version of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) specification is
nearing completion, and I would like to ask the DWARF experts here to
please review the DWARF chapter that is a part of the LSB. The ELF
portion of the LSB can be found at

http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/generic-elf.html

The entire LSB specification can be found at

http://refspecs.freestandards.org/lsb.shtml

and your comments on any part of the LSB would certainly be welcome.

The LSB is based on the DWARF 2 specification, with a few things pulled
in as needed from what will be Dwarf 3. The LSB doesn't actually define
anything for debugging, but DWARF is used for runtime support of C++, so
we need to bring some of it into the LSB.

You feedback is very much appreciated!
