Is this extension supported?

Just curious if this extension is supported.

I installed it, but I am not sure how to activate it, or how to have it decode an elf file.

Well ... I'm someone who likes to start new projects and then lose interest. I may continue this extension in the future. While it's still unfinished, it already has a uniquely useful feature that I actually use every now and then.
I'll give you a brief description:

Elf Code Lens is an extension for VS Code written in Typescript and is based on another project of mine, Elf Analysis (https://github.com/GrandChris/elf_analysis). Elf Analysis is a C ++ project for decoding Elf files. It only works for small code bases with

• ARM thumb code
• Dwarf 3 debug information
  That means it only works if you compiled your project with the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain (https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu- rm / Downloads).

The Elf Analysis C ++ project is compiled into WebAssembly for use with the Elf Code Lens extension.
The only functionality the extension has so far is: Take an elf file and disassemble/decode its contents into a txt file.
You can specify the path to the elf file in the settings and it has a command to actually start the disassembling process.

I will try it out, we are using GCC to build the ELF so I am not sure it will work for us, but thanks for responding.
