* NEWS: Add note about --dwarf-depth, --dwarf-start, and
dwarf-mode.el. * objdump.c (suppress_bfd_header): New global. (usage): Update. (OPTION_DWARF_DEPTH, OPTION_DWARF_START): New constants. (options): Add dwarf-depth and dwarf-start entries. (dump_bfd): Use suppress_bfd_header. (main): Handle OPTION_DWARF_START, OPTION_DWARF_DEPTH. * doc/binutils.texi (objcopy): Document --dwarf-depth and --dwarf-start. (readelf): Likewise. * dwarf-mode.el: New file. * dwarf.c (dwarf_cutoff_level, dwarf_start_die): New globals. (read_and_display_attr_value): Also check debug_info_p. (process_debug_info): Handle dwarf_start_die and dwarf_cutoff_level. * dwarf.h (dwarf_cutoff_level, dwarf_start_die): Declare. * readelf.c (usage): Update. (OPTION_DWARF_DEPTH): New macro. (OPTION_DWARF_START): Likewise. (options): Add dwarf-depth and dwarf-start entries. (parse_args): Handle OPTION_DWARF_START and OPTION_DWARF_DEPTH. testsuite * binutils-all/objdump.W: Correct output.
