I found a draft document on version 2 of dwarf and it seemed quite cool with all the information you can provide about the code among the debugging information. So should the question really be - when will FreeBSD support DWARF? If I didn't read things two wrong you would be able with the use of it get debugging information to the extent that the debugger could show you the call tree and the statement (everyone writes one statement on a line, right?) if there is access to the source code, which caused that damn SIGSEV. Ok, maybe I am a bit overenthusiastic on the moment... Sander > > Warner >
