[llvm-dev] [RFC] DWARF Version 6 Proposal For Heterogeneous Debugging

[via llvm-dev]

I don't know what an acceptable ping rate on an RFC is, but I also 
wanted to add that if anyone prefers to review this on Phabricator the 
latest diff of https://reviews.llvm.org/D70523 essentially includes the 
entire contents of the proposal, because it was moved to another file.

Thanks,
Scott
