[llvm-dev] DebugInfo work contribution and update.

[George, Jini Susan via llvm-dev]

Hi David,

Yes, we are interested in the gdb side of things too – as Sourabh said, we have been following Ali’s patches. I think we will co-ordinate with Ali to see what gdb support for DWARF5 we can add so that we don’t tread on each other’s toes.

Thanks!
Jini.

[CAUTION: External Email]
+some other debugger people (Pavel - wasn't sure which email address you prefer, feel free to let me know (privately or publicly) for future reference)

I work at Google & we're certainly interested in DWARFv5 compliance - I'm currently working on improving debug_loclist emission to share more address pool entries ( https://reviews.llvm.org/D68620 ) which includes some improvements to llvm-dwarfdump to go with that. (Pavel's working on further improvements https://reviews.llvm.org/D68271 )

I haven't looked at/started on the loclist issue (PR43622) - so if you want to look at that, that's fine by me.

Are you also interested in the debugger side of things? GDB's DWARFv5 support is pretty incomplete & Ali's already looking at some of that, and I might get to the debug_loclist improvements necessary - but if someone else wants to do that before me, I won't complain.

Not sure of any other major holes in LLVM's DWARFv5 support, but they might be out there, for sure.

Hi llvm-dev, cfe-dev,

It's been a while since our team is investigating DebugInfo in LLVM, we're looking forward to contribute and enhance in LLVM DebugInfo.

We,'ve been investigating mostly on DWARF-5 aspects -- couple of them to mention--
1. Language aspects
2. Location mostly optimized out ones
3. DebugInfo conformance to DWARF-5

To avoid getting conflicted with some body else's work and avoiding redundancy. We would like to know the over-all state of current community developments happening WRT DWARF-5.

As of now, we're working on --
PR 43263, 43622 -- reported today {Just Now}

we'll be up-streaming patches for these.

Please let us know your thoughts, and anything else that's relevant that we need to aware of before picking up.

Thanks in anticipation!
Sourabh Singh Tomar
