Greetings,

can someone tell me if there is a gdb command to query the dwarf info of a function, specifically the memory location of the parameters, just through its name during post-mortem debugging ( I cannot stop inside the function because the program isn't running ) ?

Regards

If you're wondering about the location of the parameters, I think
a better tool would be readelf or objdump, which are both able
to dump the DWARF info in a human-readable way. E.g.

    readelf -wi EXE
