Description
with LibObjectFile lib is it possible to extract from an elf file (ARM-Cortex 32bit gcc) the list of variables, their address, their size, but above all, their typology and their composition if they are not basic types, such as struct or union ?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reviewing LibObjectFile's existing ELF and DWARF support, then determine whether ARM Cortex 32-bit GCC data can expose variables, addresses, sizes, and non-basic type composition. The issue names no files or tests, so completion would need a defined API and validation for structs, unions, and basic types.
