As a follow up to this proposal, I have opened an enhancement request in the gcc bugzilla at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41130 . A first patch implementing the generation of the .debug_gnu_index is attached there. It's complete as far as the functionalities are concerned (modulo the possible bugs) but it lacks tests for now. I will update it with deja gnu tests soon. I have also put the wording of the proposal in the wiki at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugGNUIndexSection . Thanks. -- Dodji Seketeli Red Hat
