|
`gimli` is a library for reading and writing the
|
|
[DWARF debugging format](https://dwarfstd.org/).
|
|
|
|
* **Zero copy:** everything is just a reference to the original input buffer. No
|
|
copies of the input data get made.
|
|
|
|
* **Lazy:** you can iterate compilation units without parsing their
|
|
contents. Parse only as many debugging information entry (DIE) trees as you
|
|
iterate over. `gimli` also uses `DW_AT_sibling` references to avoid parsing a
|
|
DIE's children to find its next sibling, when possible.
|
|
|
|
* **Cross-platform:** `gimli` makes no assumptions about what kind of object
|
|
file you're working with. The flipside to that is that it's up to you to
|
|
provide an ELF loader on Linux or Mach-O loader on macOS.
|
|
|
|
* Unsure which object file parser to use? Try the cross-platform
|
|
[`object`](https://github.com/gimli-rs/object) crate. See the
|
|
[`gimli-examples`](./crates/examples/src/bin) crate for usage with `gimli`.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
gimli = "0.28.1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The minimum supported Rust version is:
|
|
|
|
* 1.60.0 for the `read` feature and its dependencies.
|
|
* 1.65.0 for other features.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
* [Documentation on docs.rs](https://docs.rs/gimli/)
|
|
|
|
* Example programs:
|
|
|
|
* [A simple `.debug_info` parser](./crates/examples/src/bin/simple.rs)
|
|
|
|
* [A simple `.debug_line` parser](./crates/examples/src/bin/simple_line.rs)
|
|
|
|
* [A `dwarfdump` clone](./crates/examples/src/bin/dwarfdump.rs)
|
|
|
|
* [An `addr2line` clone](https://github.com/gimli-rs/addr2line)
|
|
|
|
* [`ddbug`](https://github.com/gimli-rs/ddbug), a utility giving insight into
|
|
code generation by making debugging information readable.
|
|
|
|
* [`dwprod`](https://github.com/fitzgen/dwprod), a tiny utility to list the
|
|
compilers used to create each compilation unit within a shared library or
|
|
executable (via `DW_AT_producer`).
|
|
|
|
* [`dwarf-validate`](./crates/examples/src/bin/dwarf-validate.rs), a program to validate the
|
|
integrity of some DWARF and its references between sections and compilation
|
|
units.
