I'm looking for a tool, preferably gcc with the right flag recipe, that would take a C header file and spit out an ELF library that contains an exhaustive dwarf-format description of types, including function declarations, which could completely describe the development API for, say, a shared library. I've gotten close; If I create a .c file that does nothing but include the .h file(s) I'm "packaging", and use the following gcc command line (there may be redundant flags here...):
gcc -g3 --shared -std=gnu99 -ggdb3 -gdwarf-4 -fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types -o dwarf_api.so -c api.c I get very nearly what I'm looking for, minus (afaict) function declarations. I'd like to avoid the intermediate .c file (although this is easy to script away), and I need those function declarations... Are there any magic flags I've missed in the gcc docs (and I've only looked at gcc so far), or is there another tool I haven't discovered, that can do what I'm looking for? (Google hasn't really come through for me here...) Thanks, Jason Nyberg
