[PATCH] D118754: [DebugInfo] Always emit `.debug_names` with dwarf 5 for Apple platforms

[Paul Robinson via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

probinson added a comment.

> The ability to enable/disable accelerators on MachO (not currently possible - since it's hardcoded in the backend) - eg: someone adding -gno-pubnames to reduce debug info size, but in the process breaking lldb's behavior due to missing accelerator tables.

My memory of when Pavel added .debug_names is that lldb knew how to construct it (e.g. for v4 input) and having it present in the object was a load-time improvement, not a functional requirement.  So, the scenario of wanting to turn .debug_names off does seem plausible to me, and not something to be forbidden.
