[PATCH] D59553: [LLD][ELF][DebugInfo] llvm-symbolizer shows incorrect source line info if --gc-sections used

[Paul Robinson via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

probinson added a comment.

I think at this point the "debug info cabal" is more in favor of fragmenting the DWARF emitted by the compiler, so that it can be gc'd in tandem with the related functions.  That solution costs extra relocations and extra sections in the .o file, but uses all existing mechanisms in the linker to achieve the goal.

But that opinion is based on the chat here and in D54747 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D54747>, and without a real llvm-dev discussion behind it.
