Description

Hello, as far as I know, binaryen currently only has the ability to modify DWARF section, but not the ability to create DWARF information. Are there plans to provide the ability to create DWARF information? In this case, the binaryen-based compiler can reuse this part of the ability without the need to implement it from scratch.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Binaryen's existing support for modifying DWARF sections and the discussion in this issue. Define the scope and API needed to create DWARF information, then identify the relevant implementation and test entry points; completion would require an agreed design and validated support rather than only an answer about future plans.
