[PATCH] D54747: Discard debuginfo for object files empty after GC

[Robert O'Callahan via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

rocallahan added a comment.

I agree that ideally the linker would be able to do fine-grained GC of DWARF at the granularity of individual DIEs and other data items. However, implementing that would be a huge project. Currently AFAICT `lld` does very little DWARF processing. Wholesale DWARF rewriting would expand the scope of the linker and require lots of testing against various DWARF producers and consumers. I definitely wouldn't want to implement that.
