    If you're debugging a crash or stepping through code in CCS the debugger uses .debug_line to figure out where you're currently on.
    It looks into .debug_line to say this address is main.c:42 ,  also uses .debug_frame to walk up the stack which function called this one

    Please refer the attached documents:
