Please excuse this question not directly related to gdb. I need to answer the following without spending a lot of time researching a topic I know little about. Please, help!


What specifically are the deficiencies of COFF in representing a C++
program for debugging purposes?

Is there anything published on this topic that I could be referred to?

Which versions of dwarf address which deficiencies?


Please reply via email so we don't use the bandwidth of this group.

Thanks
