+ * All .c files: Mechanically removed tab characters with
+ the expand tool.

+2008-08-14 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>

+ * libdwarf2p.1.pdf: Regenerated.
+2008-08-05 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * libdwarf.h, dwarf_error.c: DW_DLA_PUBTYPE_CONTEXT was a mistake,
+ DW_DLE_PUBTYPE_CONTEXT was intended and is now the spelling (neither
+ is used).
+ * dwarf_pubtypes.c dwarf_vars.c dwarf_funcs.c dwarf_global.c dwarf_weaks.c:
+ tabs removed and previous strange formatting generated by a tool
+ removed (4 space indent per level now present).
+
+2008-08-05 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>

+2008-05-20 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * dwarf_init_finish.c(dwarf_object_init): When there is no

+2008-04-12 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>

+ performance improvement and space saving.
+ * dwarf_util.h: Changed declaration for space saving in dwarf
+ abbreviations table.
+2008-04-04 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * libdwarf.h: A trivial change to make a declaration look better.
+ * dwarf_abbrev.h: We record tags in more than 16 bits now just in case
+ we encounter such a thing (increased ab_tag field size), though
+ we should not find such.
+ * dwarf_abbrev.c: Adding a comment about the dwarf TAG value.
+ * dwarf_util.c: Initialize local variables at declaration for safety.
+ Removed truncation of some values: internally record more bits.
+ Rewrote handling of the abbrev table as the old one did not scale
+ to large numbers of abbreviations (things got very slow).
+ * dwarf_util.h: Now has a larger field size in the argument to
+ _dwarf_get_abbrev_for_code (not quite necessary but not harmful).
+ * dwarf_die_deliv.c: Initializing local variables at declaration and
+ removing truncation of bits from some uleb values.
+ * dwarf_die_deliv.h: Increased size of ab_code field.
+ * dwarf_opaque.h: Added a comment about abbreviations.
+ * dwarf_base_types.h: Revised to match addition of new
+ allocation table entry.
+ * dwarf_alloc.h: Document macro definitions and increase one to
+ match new table size.
+ * dwarf_alloc.c: Arrange handling of new DW_DLA_HASH_TABLE_ENTRY
+ (most of the work done in dwarf_util.c).
+2008-02-27 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * libdwarf.h: Fixed minor typo in latest libdwarf.h that gcc did not
+ complain about. Noted by Josh Fuhs.

+ * pro_opaque.h: Remove de_access field, it is never used.
+ * libdwarf.h: Add new data structures to allow reading of
+ non-Elf object files.
+ * dwarf_original_elf_init.c: dwarf_init(), dwarf_elf_init()
+ moved here from dwarf_init_finish.c.
+ * Makefile.in: Build new source files dwarf_original_elf_init.c
+ and dwarf_elf_access.c.
+ * dwarf_init_finish.c: All dependencies on libelf and elf
+ have been removed.
+ * dwarf_opaque.h: The elf related info is removed and Dwarf_Debug_s
+ now contains a new structure (from libdwarf.h) to hide object
+ information.
+ * dwarf_elf_access.c: All the Elf-using code is now in this
+ source file and elf details are kept in a struct defined and
+ used here. Non-libelf and non-elf object access code would
+ write a new source file with their own details using this
+ as an example.
+ * dwarf_elf_access.h: Prototypes for calling between
+ dwarf_original_elf_init.c and dwarf_elf_access.c.
+2008-02-18 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * libdwarf.h: Declare new object-access functions and structures.
+ * dwarf_original_elf_init.c: Traditional dwarf_init() and dwarf_elf_init()

+ * dwarf_init_finish.c: Now uses the function pointers, not
+ libelf specific fields or ifdefs.
+ * pro_opaque.h: Remove de_access field, it is unused.
+ * dwarf_opaque.h: New fields for new object-access functions.
+ * dwarf_elf_access.c: New implementation details for elf access functions
+ moved here from dwarf_init_finish.c.
+ * dwarf_elf_access.h: New function interface so dwarf_elf_access.c
+ and dwarf_original_elf_init.c can communicate.
+2008-02-08 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * dwarf_print_lines.c: Added commentary to clarify that
+ dwarf_print_lines() and _dwarf_print_lines are intentionally
+ identical. Initialized local variables so they are alll
+ visibly set to some sensible value.
+2008-02-07 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * dwarf_frame.c (_dwarf_fde_section_offset): A typo
+ in the last release made this an infinite loop.
+ A one character change fixed it. Thanks to Carlos Alberto
+ Enciso for noticing the bug.
+2008-02-04 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * dwarf_incl.h, pro_incl.h: Moved #include of dwarf.h before libdwarf.h
+ * pro_forms.c: Some newer attributes are now handled.
+ * dwarf_print_lines.c: Removed unused #include.

+
+2008-02-04 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>

+ selection of DWARF3 64bit extension producer offset generation.
+ * libdwarf2p.1.mm: Document DW_DLC_OFFSET_SIZE_64.
+ * pro_init.c (dwarf_producer_init): Now standard DWARF3 is the default.
+ * configure.in: Add --enable-dwarf-format-sgi-irix for those
+ wanting IRIX offset-style DWARF2. Add --enable-dwarf-format-strict-32bit
+ for those wanting strictly 32bit offsets.
+ Otherwise default to generating 64bit offsets from the producer code,
+ but allow the DWARF3 extended 64bit offsets if the flag
+ DW_DLC_OFFSET_SIZE_64 is turned on in the call to dwarf_producer_init().
+ * config.h.in: Provide undefs for the offset macros.
+
+2008-01-25 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * pro_die.c: Changed leading tabs to spaces.
+2008-01-23 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * pro_die.c: Using di_last_child field dwarf_die_link
+ goes from O(N) to O(1) in adding a child.
+ Thanks to Daniel Gollub for the suggestion.
+ An omission in linking left/right children is fixed.
+ Changed some leading TABs to spaces.
+ * pro_opaque.h: Add di_last_child field.
+2008-01-14 DavidAnderson <davea42@earthlink.net>
+ * libdwarf2p.1.mm: Added missing backslash to correct formatting
+ error. Thanks to Daniel Golub for pointing out the ommission.
+ * libdwarf2.p1.pdf: Regenerated.
