[llvm-dev] [DebugInfo][DWARFv5] should -gdwarf-5 imply usage of .debug_names?

[Victor Leschuk via llvm-dev]

Hello all,

I am implementing support for .debug_names section (which is introduced 
in DWARFv5 standard as replacement for .debug_pubnames and 
.debug_pubtypes). The question is: should usage of DWARF version 5 force 
generation of .debug_names instead of .debug_pubnames or we can make it 
just default behavior and provide user with the interface (cmd switch) 
to use other DWARFv5 features but generate old .debug_pubnames and 
.debug_pubtypes? The thing is that there can be potential DWARF consumer 
which doesn't fully support new standard. When we are talking about 
attributes, etc it will just cause warnings, but unknown section is much 
more serious issue.
