rust-debug

Is a library for retrieving debug information from the DWARF format.

The library provides a abstraction over the DWARF debug format, which simplifies the process of retrieving information from DWARF.

The goals of for the library are: * Easy to use. * Provides one function solution for everything. * Dose not enforce which library is used to read from the debugged target. * Dose not restrict usage of gimli-rs.

Features

• Preforming a stack trace.
• Virtually unwinding the call stack.
• Evaluating a variable.
• Finding a breakpoint location.
• Retrieving the source code location where a DIE was declared.

Example

Check out this debugger for embedded Rust code I made using this library. https://github.com/Blinningjr/embedded-rust-debugger

Requirements

• All the provided function require something from gimli-rs
• Some of the function require that the debugged target registers and memory can be read.
• Some knowledge of the DWARF format
