We've just uploaded Dwarves.

It is a set of tools that use DWARF information inserted in ELF binaries compiled with debugging symbols. See this paper for details on this set.

Included in the package:

• pahole: finds alignment holes in structs and classes in languages such as C/C++, CPU cacheline alignment. Helps repack those structures to achieve more cache hits.


• codiff: a diff like tool to compare the effects changes in source code generate on the resulting binaries


• pfunct: displays all sorts of information about functions, inlines, etc.


• pdwtags: pretty-prints DWARF information


• pglobal: lists global symbols


• prefcnt: counts DWARF tags usage


• syscse: system call sign extender


• dtagnames: lists tag names

Until the package reaches unstable, you can grab them from here.
