    "debuginfo format"
  ],
  "textContent": "At the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference in Tokyo, Stephen Brennan gave a presentation on the debuginfo format, which contains the symbols and other information needed for debugging, along with some alternatives. Debuginfo files are large and, he believes, are a bit scary to customers because of the \"debug\" in their name. By rethinking debuginfo and the tools that use it, he hopes that free-software developers \"\"can add new, interesting capabilities to tools that we are already using or build new interesting tools\"\".",
