I think it's acceptable to make the return type to be `void`. But the `dumpDebugSection()` function in D85506 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D85506> should be changed to

  static Error dumpDebugSection(StringRef SecName, DWARFContext &DCtx,
                                DWARFYAML::Data &DWARF) {
    if (SecName == "__debug_abbrev") {
      dumpDebugAbbrev(DCtx, DWARF);
      return Error::sucess();
    }
    if (SecName == "__debug_aranges")
      return dumpDebugARanges(DCtx, DWARF);
    if (SecName == "__debug_info") {
      dumpDebugInfo(DCtx, DWARF);
      return Error::sucess();
    }
    if (SecName == "__debug_line") {
      dumpDebugLines(DCtx, DWARF);
      return Error::success();
    }
    if (SecName == "__debug_ranges")
      return dumpDebugRanges(DCtx, DWARF);
    if (SecName == "__debug_str") {
      dumpDebugStrings(DCtx, DWARF);
      return Error::success();
    }
    return createStringError(errc::not_supported,
                             "dumping " + SecName + " section is not supported");
  }
