We have great accelerator tables that the clang makes for us that actually have all of the info we need to find types and functions quickly, whereas all other platforms must run SymbolFileDWARF::Index() to manually index the DWARF.

I'm on OS X, so none of this applies?

Then I can verify that SymbolFileDWARF::Index() is correctly indexing things so that we can find types and functions when we need them.

I've been mulling over this problem: do you want to be able to run the
Mach-O, or do you just want to inspect it? The transitive closure of
the dependencies is atleast 30 .dylibs, and I can't take out that much
IP.

So what are we looking for exactly?

Thanks.
