Interested in using DWARF debug format on AIX7.1?

Besides the OS debug support, you also need the compiler to generate DWARF debug format for your programs in the first place.

Starting from the September 2010 PTFs for XL C for AIX, V11.1, XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1 and XL Fortran for AIX, V13.1, you can use option -qdbgfmt=dwarf|stabstring to specify stabstring or DWARF format to produce debugging information in object files on AIX V7.1.
