    Phoronix: AMD Extending DWARF To Better Handle GPU Debugging, Continues Collaborating With GCC & LLVM

    In addition to AMD's increasing Linux kernel contributions, they are also contributing more improvements in user-space too thanks to their super-computing wins and other big enterprise deployments that are Linux-based. One of the areas talked about this week at the Linux Plumbers Conference with the GNU Tools track is how they are working to extend the DWARF debug format to better handle GPU debugging...

      GNOME is made of ELF binaries and uses DWARF debug info.

        Sometimes they get it backwards. IE: DWARF was the death of STABS, not vice versa.
