Bug ID: 28574
Summary: Reduce the size of struct line_state and Dwarf_Line_s
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libdw
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: mark at klomp dot org
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
struct line_state and Dwarf_Line_s contain various fields which are often never
used. op_index, isa, discriminator and for the linemap extensions context and
functionname. On the other hand it doesn't contain some of the DWARF5 additions
like the md5sum.
For DWARF5 we should be able to just have the fields that are actually defined.
For DWARF4 and below we should at least try to get away with just the most used
fields and only use extended records for the lesser (never) used fields.

Note that there is a DWARF6 proposal to have "optional" records in file name
tables:
