Build Status Coverage Status

gimli is a blazing fast library for consuming the DWARF debugging format.

  • Zero copy: everything is just a reference to the original input buffer. No copies of the input data get made.

  • Lazy: you can iterate compilation units without parsing their contents. Parse only as many debugging information entry (DIE) trees as you iterate over. gimli also uses DW_AT_sibling references to avoid parsing a DIE's children to find its next sibling, when possible.

  • Cross-platform: gimli makes no assumptions about what kind of object file you're working with. The flipside to that is that it's up to you to provide an ELF loader on Linux or Mach-O loader on macOS.

    • Unsure which object file parser to use? Try the cross-platform object crate. See the examples/ directory for usage with gimli.
