//! Abstractions for dealing with object files and debug information.
//!
//! This module defines the [`Object`] type, which is an abstraction over various object file
//! formats used in different platforms. Also, since executables on MacOS might contain multiple
//! object files (called a _"Fat MachO"_), there is an [`Archive`] type, that provides a uniform
//! interface with access to an objects iterator in all platforms.
//!
//! Most processing of object files will happen on the `Object` type or its concrete implementation
//! for one platform. To allow abstraction over this, there is the [`ObjectLike`] trait. It defines
//! common attributes and gives access to a [`DebugSession`], which can be used to perform more
//! stateful handling of debug information.
//!
//! See [`Object`] for the full API, or use one of the modules for direct access to the
//! platform-dependent data.
//!
//! # Background
//!
//! The functionality of `symbolic::debuginfo` is conceptionally similar to the [`object crate`].
//! However, there are key differences that warranted a separate implementation:
//!
//! - `object` has a stronger focus on executable formats, while `symbolic` focusses on debugging
//! information. This is why `symbolic` also includes a variant for PDBs and Breakpad objects,
//! where `object` instead has a WASM variant.
//! - `object` contains far more generic access to the data within objects at the cost of
//! performance. `symbolic` tries to optimize for debugging scenarios at the cost of generic
//! usage.
//! - `symbolic` contains an abstraction for multi-object files ([`Archive`]), which is not easily
//! possible in `object` due to the use of lifetimes on the `object::Object` trait.
