2025-09-30std.debug: significantly speed up capturing stack tracesmlugg
By my estimation, these changes speed up DWARF unwinding when using the self-hosted x86_64 backend by around 7x. There are two very significant enhancements: we no longer iterate frames which don't fit in the stack trace buffer, and we cache register rules (in a fixed buffer) to avoid re-parsing and evaluating CFI instructions in most cases. Alongside this are a bunch of smaller enhancements, such as pre-caching the result of evaluating the CIE's initial instructions, avoiding re-parsing of CIEs, and big simplifications to the `Dwarf.Unwind.VirtualMachine` logic.

2024-08-01std.debug: reorg and clarify API goalsAndrew Kelley
After this commit: `std.debug.SelfInfo` is a cross-platform abstraction for the current executable's own debug information, with a goal of minimal code bloat and compilation speed penalty. `std.debug.Dwarf` does not assume the current executable is itself the thing being debugged, however, it does assume the debug info has the same CPU architecture and OS as the current executable. It is planned to remove this limitation.
2024-08-01std: dwarf namespace reorgAndrew Kelley
std.debug.Dwarf is the parsing/decoding logic. std.dwarf remains the unopinionated types and bits alone. If you look at this diff you can see a lot less redundancy in namespaces.
