Stabs interface query

[Braddock Gaskill]

Hi Folks,

I'm attempting to use Stabs debugging information to automatically
provide a library calling interface to script languages without the
need for wrappers.  I also want to make an automatic IDL compiler from
Stabs info, which I think would be a great boost to Orbit.

As far as I know, gdb contains the only complete Stabs parser and
processor.  In addition, gdb is probably the only code that sets up
the stack to directly call functions based on stabs information on
most platforms.  

Are there any other (simpler?) applications that dynamically make
function calls without a priori knowledge of the function parameters?
Or do you know of any other stabs parser?  I'd like to look at a
simpler example.

So, I was wondering if you folks had any advice or ideas on how I
might be able to leverage the gdb code in this task.  I'm downloading
the code tree now to take a look at it, but would appreciate any
ideas.

	Thanks,
	Braddock Gaskill
