[Bug debug/39705] New: enum constants don't appear in debug_pubnames

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

enum constants don't appear in .debug_pubnames.
It seems like perhaps they should, because they are global (in a sense).

The attached patchlet seems to be doing the trick.

The entry in the .debug_pubname for a given enum constant points to the
corresponding DW_TAG_enumerator DIE representing the enum constant in the
.debug_info section.

Is this what you meant ?

In the end, we decided not to use .debug_pubnames in gdb.
And, GCC no longer generates this section on most platforms.
So, I am closing this bug.
