  An alternative build mechanism using cmake is now in the source tree.

  The builds for product testing continue to be done using configure && make.

2016-09-20:

  --enable-sanitize option added to configure. This builds

  with -fsanitize=address to check for out of bounds

  memory access. 

2016-09-05:

  dwarfexample/simpleexample.c now has a simple option letting one

  extract all .debug_info, .debug_types strings into a file by

  themselves in case one wanted to examine string frequencies,

  for example.

2016-06-01:  Now we use DW_VERSION_DATE_STR for

  dates everywhere instead of __DATE__ __TIME__

  so a repeated build gets identical object output.

  DW_VERSION_DATE_STR is updated by UPDATEDWARFDUMPVERSION.sh

  wherever that string is needed.

2015-11-26:  If DWARF section data you intend to read

  with libdwarf is compressed by zlib (a section name

  like  .zdebug_info indicates such compression) libdwarf etc

  will need zlib's headers and archive or shared-library

  at build and link time. If you  do not have zlib

  everything will compile fine and will work

  on ordinary DWARF sections but libdwarf will not be

  able to read .zdebug_ compressed sections.

  zlib.h is the main zlib header and libz.a is the

  most likely zlib library you will encounter.

2015-11-15:  It is now possible to build

  outside of the source tree. See README.

  So configure.in changed a little.

2015-01-13:  Removed dwarfdump2 and references to it.

  dwarfdump has the (tsearch) features needed so the C++

  version no longer a benefit.
