And there is a brand new book with more than 700 pages about how to build a debugger by the same Author with a lot of additional information (see https://nostarch.com/building-a-debugger); I recently bought it and can highly recommend it.

Also second that the book is a fantastic read. I work in the eBPF profiling space (on CNCF Pixie) and this has helped me understand DWARF concepts that I previously took at face value in our project's implementation.

It's really top-shelf. Haven't enjoyed a book of this kind since 'Crafting Interpreters.'

There's added bonuses too--the author evidently is quite a skilled C++ programmer, so there's all sorts of little modern-cppisms in there that I was ignorant of as someone that's only ever written the language as a hobbyist.
