Re: What to do with info addr and location expressions

Hi Jim,


One thing though - readelf does not, and should not, used the bfd
library.  One of its main goals is to provide an alternative to bfd
for parsing and displaying ELF files, so that it can act as a
sanity/bug check.



The natural home for such code would be a libdwarf, but we don't have
that yet.  In the the mean time, could the code live in libiberty,
like the demangler?


I do not think that this is really suitable for libiberty.

The simplest method would be to break the code out into a separate
file that lives in the binutils/ directory and which could then be
compiled into either readelf or gdb.

That would mean bundling the binutils directory in with GDB. Hmm ...

Andrew
