Hi Cibu,
I would like to know whether it is possible to find the mapping between the
variables and registers at a specific address.
This is what debug information does. It is not the responsibility of
the binutils but rather the compiler to generate the appropriate
information. The binutils tools objdump and readelf can be used to
display generated debug information in a very basic format, but you will
probably want to use a tool like GDB to actually process this information.
Cheers
Nick
