rocallahan added a comment. Another clarification:

The compiler could put all debuginfo that's shared between functions into a non-COMDAT section for the compilation unit. The downside of that is that that data is not removed by gc-sections ... although my patch here would remove it, if all functions in the CU are removed. I guess this is what @echristo was getting at in their comment above: In D54747#1319447 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D54747#1319447>, @echristo wrote: > There's a few options here, mostly using comdat groups for debug infomation > associated with sections that the debug information comes from.
