- `nif_start` is implemented as no-op, preventing crash - `executable_line` is implemented on jit+dwarf for additional line information for debuggers - `debug_line` is implemented on jit+dwarf for additional line information and variable mapping for debuggers Also fix DWARF generation by emitting DW_LNS_set_prologue_end which lldb needs to resolve breakpoints at function lines with `executable_line`. Also clean up `jit_dwarf.erl` Signed-off-by: Paul Guyot <pguyot@kallisys.net>
