DWARF is such a neat little format. I have a soft spot for the "line program" table, which is a little state machine that allows DWARF to efficiently encode a line/column correspondence for virtual addresses.

Surely, you are joking about the "little" part. The Dwarf 5 document is over 400 pages long (c.f. https://dwarfstd.org/doc/DWARF5.pdf ).

Compared to the languages that it models, that's very small!
