The DWARF 3.0 Debugging

compatible extension to the previous standard.
The major enhancements in DWARF 3.0 are
- Support debugging data files larger
than 4 GBytes
- Allow references to debugging information entries in other
shared
libraries
- Support Fortran 90 modules as well as allocatable array and
pointer types
- Support C (as revised for 1999)
- Support Java
- Namespace support for C++
- Add optional section for global type names
- Use UTF-8 for name strings
- Improved support for optimized code
- Improve the ability to eliminate duplicate debug info
The DWARF Version 3 Standard has been superceded
by DWARF Version 4.
