About this episode
Pierre-Marie de Rodat (@pmderodat) joined us to talk about how debugger software works (and what compilers tell the debugger).
Pierre-Marie works for AdaCore on GNATcoverage (among other things). His github repo is pmderodat.
Note that the AdaCore sponsored Make with Ada competition is running right now but you still have time to enter! Last year's winner, Stephane Carrez with EtherScope, made an Ethernet monitor for an STM32 board (github).
GDB supports Python scripting!?!!!
DWARF is the most standard debugging data format. Before that it was stabs. To see this information in a Linux or Mac system, use objdump. (It is really interesting!)
