probinson added a comment. GCC 4.8.4 on Linux doesn't produce these, but DWARF 4 section 5.5.8 says a class template instantiation is just like the equivalent non-template class entry, with the exception of the template parameter entries. I read that as meaning an incomplete description (i.e. with DW_AT_declaration) lets you omit all the other children, but not the template parameters.
I don't think omitting the template DIEs was an intentional optimization, in the sense of being a decision separate from deciding to emit the incomplete/forward declaration in the first place. They were just omitted because we were omitting everything, but everything turns out to be non-compliant. http://reviews.llvm.org/D14358 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
