DWARF Explorer is a cross-platform GUI utility for visualizing the DWARF debugging information in executable files, built on top of pyelftools and filebytes.
It supports parsing the following file types for DWARF data:
- ELF (Linux, Android)
- Mach-O (MacOS X, iOS)
- PE (Windows, Cygwin)
- WASM (aka WebAssembly)
- ar (.a files, Linux/Unix/MacOS X static libraries)
This project came from my desire to see and navigate the DWARF tree of compiled Android and iOS binaries. Seeing the DIEs is easy enough with utilities like readelf or dwarfdump. However, chasing inter-DIE references back and forth is not straightforward with those.
The utility might be of use for anyone who is building DWARF parsers for one or another reason, especially if their preferred parsing library is pyelftools.
The software runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
