Ok, my bad, language barrier. ;)

Speaking of those APIs, I guess if you do have something of the sort,
it may be easy to evaluate expressions and understanding the structure
of a program on a debugger.

If you manage to parse dwarf information on the same structure as
clang (or the interpreter) does with code, one can later list the
members of a class, print their values etc.
