Hello,

Tom Tromey and myself thought about possible ways to help GDB achieve
faster name lookups by trying as much as possible to load some debug
information in a lazy manner.

The DWARF 3 and 4 specifications address that need by mean of the
.debug_pubnames and .debug_pubtypes sections. However, we believe that the
content of these sections falls short in several ways.

The attached (simple) proposal is an attempt to address those issues.

Comments ?

Thanks.
