Hello On llvm side of compiler world there has been work done by Igor Kudrin to enable DWARF64. I am trying to add a flag to Clang to enable DWARF64 generation. https://reviews.llvm.org/D90507 In review David Blaikie pointed out that there has been a discussion on what to call this flag: https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/746/attachments/578/1018/DWARF5-64.pdf https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/sessions/90/attachments/583/1201/dwarf-bof-notes-aug24-lpc-2020.txt https://www.mail-archive.com/gcc@gcc.gnu.org/msg92495.html
Reading through that it doesn't look like there is a consensus on what it should be. >From discussion there is seems to be mixed opinion if it should be -f<name> or >-g<name>. Primarily centered around if -g prefix implies turning on generation >of debug information. Now that LLVM can actually generate DWARF64 for ELF, can we come to consensus on the name? Thank You Alex
