Hi Guys, I am applying the attached patch to add support for DWARF-5 .debug_line sections. DWARF v5 changes the format of the section's header so that the layout of the directory table and the file table are explicitly specified. This allow for extra fields and also the possibility of reducing the size of the tables by not storing unneeded fields. The patch also extended the .file directive so that it can take an optional directory name and md5 sum, like this: .file [] [md5 ] The md5 sum is a hash of the source file, so that consumers can verify that any file that they locate matches the debug information. As part of the patch I have also updated the DWARF decoder used by readelf and objdump to enhance its display of version 5 directory and file name tables.
