Error opening file with DWARF5
noppej opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I've just upgraded to the latest "version 2". When I open files on my Mac (M1 Pro) it fails with an error "Error opening file:"
I've attached the binary, with the hope that you can reproduce.
PS. dwarfdump is able to report from the same file.

That file contains at least one compile unit with DWARF version 5 (probably the RTL). The pyelftools library, which dwex is based on, contains DWARFv5 support (somewhat experimental) in the master branch, but not in the released version. The issue in the pyelftools Github is eliben/pyelftools#325 - consider browsing there and ask for a release.
If the maintainers over there won't oblige, I could repackage the latest master of pyelftools with dwex and release like that. But that would leave a bad taste.
Thank you, that is very helpful. I will let you know what I discover.
Now that I think of it, dwex would do better to show a nicer message. It's not exactly an error. While the pyelftools team gets their act together, I think I'll do that.
I've got a number of RUST generated DWARF 5 files if you need someone to help test with the new pyelftools release.
They've obliged, your file opens, I've published, please upgrade dwex and enjoy.
Works like a charm. Thanks :)
