Crate gimli 

gimli is a library for reading and writing the DWARF debugging format.

See the read and write modules for examples and API documentation.

Cargo Features

Cargo features that can be enabled with gimli:

• std: Enabled by default. Use the std library. Disabling this feature allows using gimli in embedded environments that do not have access to std. Note that even when std is disabled, gimli still requires an implementation of the alloc crate.

• read: Enabled by default. Enables the read module. Use of std is optional.

• write: Enabled by default. Enables the write module. Always uses the std library.

Encoding

Encoding parameters that are commonly used for multiple DWARF sections.

LineEncoding

Encoding parameters for a line number program.

LittleEndian

Little endian byte order.

Enums

DwarfFileType

The “type” of file with DWARF debugging information. This determines, among other things, which files DWARF sections should be loaded from.

Format

Whether the format of a compilation unit is 32- or 64-bit.

RunTimeEndian

Byte order that is selectable at runtime.

SectionId

An identifier for a DWARF section.

UnitSectionOffset

An offset into the .debug_info or .debug_types sections.

Vendor

Traits

CloneStableDeref

An unsafe marker trait for types where clones deref to the same address. This has all the requirements of StableDeref, and additionally requires that after calling clone(), both the old and new value deref to the same address. For example, Rc and Arc implement CloneStableDeref, but Box and Vec do not.

Endianity

A trait describing the endianity of some buffer.

StableDeref

An unsafe marker trait for types that deref to a stable address, even when moved. For example, this is implemented by Box, Vec, Rc, Arc and String, among others. Even when a Box is moved, the underlying storage remains at a fixed location.

Type Aliases

NativeEndian

The native endianity for the target platform.
