..., we just don't write good enough tests (and enough of them) for this very important feature. Therefore, as an interim stage, I propose to adopt some external tool that parses DWARF and emits decoded textual dumps which makes tests easy to write. Concretely, I have a pure Python library named pyelftools (https://bitbucket.org/eliben/pyelftools) which provides comprehensive ELF and DWARF parsing capabilities and has a dumper that's fully compatible with the readelf command. Using pyelftools would allow us to immediately improve the quality of our tests, and as lib/DebugInfo matures llvm-dwarfd...
