Hello everyone,
I recently found myself looking at ObjectFileMachO.cpp. I noticed that
nearly half of that file (2700 LOC) is taken up by the ParseSymtab
function, and that maybe one third of that is taken up by what appears

Is anyone still using STABS debug info? I

format by which MachO expresses its symbol table. So all that needs to be
there.
Over the past couple of years, th
