Wine's support for reporting calling conventions

[Roger Cruz]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for replying.  I saw that in the DWARF spec and I was afraid that DWARF may not provide detailed Info. But I also read in the spec that the compilers use a DWARF extension feature to convey additional info such as calling convention for each routine.  Is there a way to coax GCC to output that information?  Maybe thru a target plugin? 

Thanks
Roger
