uweigand opened PR #2854 from debug-endian
to main
:
This fixes some hard-coded assumptions in the debug crate that
the native ELF files being accessed are little-endian; specifically
in create_gdbjit_image as well as in emit_dwarf.In addition, data in WebAssembly memory always uses little-endian
byte order. Therefore, if the native architecture is big-endian,
all references to base types need to be marked as little-endian
using the DW_AT_endianity attribute, so that the debugger will
be able to correctly access them.<!--
