[PATCH] D96035: [WIP][dsymutil][DWARFlinker] implement separate multi-thread processing for compile units.

[Greg Clayton via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

clayborg added a comment.

One idea is for each type we want to unique, each CU as it is being parsed on its own thread creates a type map that maps "type compile unit path" (which is DW_AT_decl_file of that type) to a list of uniqued types with decl context info. This would allow all types with the same DW_AT_decl_file to be stored in the same type compile unit. As we emit the debug info for a normal compile unit, any type references are changed to be DW_AT_ref_addr references with values that will need to be fixed up. After all normal CUs have been emitted, combine all of the CU specific type maps together, and now emit the type compile units (carefully to include all needed children in each type to make the most complete version of the type possible and emit them) in a sorted order to allow determinism. Then we fix up all DW_AT_ref_addr references in the normal CUs to point to the one type definition from the type compile units.

Sorry if this is restating what has already been said/implied!
