Welcome to the DWARF Debugging Standard Website


DWARF is a debugging file format used by many compilers and debuggers to support source level debugging. It addresses the requirements of a number of proceedural languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran, and is designed to be extensible to other languages. DWARF is architecture independent and applicable to any processor or operating system. It is widely used on Unix, Linux and other operating systems, as well as in stand-alone environments.

There are three versions of the DWARF Debugging Format Standard. The current version, DWARF 3.0, was published in January, 2006.  

The DWARF Version 3 Standard is available in either PDF or MS Word format.
