[PATCH] D52241: Eliminate .{, z}debug_gnu_pub{names, types} sections as early as possible.

[Rui Ueyama via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

ruiu added a comment.

What I found is lld consumes a lot of memory when we feed object files containing .zdebug_gnu_pub{names,types} sections because it uncompresses them in memory. I don't know how realistic that scenario is, but that's at least I tried.

Currently, if no --gdb-index is given, lld just concatenates .{,z}debug_gnu_pub{names,types} by section name because that's the default behavior of the linker. Can external tools consume such concatenated sections?
