I had not seen the web page, but it looks like there may at least be some information to be gleaned from there. Basically, we have something (written in Ada) that is utilizing DWARF as its input. We'd like to see if we could use it in the PC world under Windows. I don't know if that's possible - hence the fishing expedition. AFAIK, DWARF is something that is connected to ELF with ELF being an object file format and DWARF being the debugging data. Gnat may be able to generate it, but since Gnat uses native host linkers, is it likely that it is going to make ELF/DWARF for a PC? AFAIK, the PC linker isn't going to suck up ELF object files so the data (if it could be produced) wouldn't do much good. It might work if there was a whole PC based ELF/DWARF linking kit that could be used instead of the native PC linker, but that's kind of going about it the hard way. But you don't know until you investigate. Thanks for the info & we'll see if anything comes out of this thread.
