• [$] Compact formats for debugging-and more

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Feb 17 06:40:09 2026
    At the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference in Tokyo, Stephen Brennan gave a presentation on the debuginfo
    format, which contains the symbols and other information needed for
    debugging, along with some alternatives. Debuginfo files are large and, he believes, are a bit scary to customers because of the "debug" in their name.
    By rethinking debuginfo and the tools that use it, he hopes that
    free-software developers "can add new, interesting capabilities to tools
    that we are already using or build new interesting tools".
