Honest question, will any of this matter once we've gone full WASM? Will DWARF be a good option then?
As I understand in the not too distant future, everyone that absolutely despises Javascript and the whole ecosystem it re-invented will be able to merrily go about their way using the old familiar tools and languages from yore when they can compile to wasm.
- johncolanduoni 9y agoThere's some significant complications, like the fact that most languages that compile to WebAssembly will need to use two stacks at certain times (including C/C++). In this respect WASM is in a similar situation to .NET and the JVM, which use their own debugging information formats for good reason. Considering this wouldn't make much of a dent in the work needed to get tools like gdb/lldb to work with WebAssembly engines I don't think it's likely to be the best path forward for WASM.
