You can manually generate DWARF data, naturally.
Hmmm.... now that you bring that up, I've been meaning
to look into assembly-formatted dwarf.
Does anyone know if SGI's libdwarf can emit dwarf as
assembly? I haven't stumbled across such functionality,
but I haven't looked for it either.
At times our compiler needs to vector the code through
the assembly format on its way to a .o file. Currently
we use a bunch of inscrutable .byte directives. Formatted
assembly with tag names etc would be easier to debug.
