It was developed by a committee (known as the PLSIG at the time) +starting around 1991. Starting around 1991 SGI got involved with the committee +and then developed the libdwarf and dwarfdump tools for SGI-internal use and as +part of SGI IRIX developer tools. From around 1993 dwarfdump and libdwarf were +shipped (as an executable and archive respectively, not source) with every +release of the SGI MIPS/IRIX C compiler. In 1994 (I think the correct year) SGI +agreed (at my request) to open-source libdwarf (and in 1999 to open-source +dwarfdump) so anyone could use them. |
