Hi,
I missed the DWARF-5 deadline so I have submitted this for DWARF-6
(not yet on http://dwarfstd.org ):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.gdb_index contained an attribute for each symbol whether it is DW_AT_external
or not.
/* Whether the symbol is in GLOBAL_BLOCK (== 0) or STATIC_BLOCK (== 1). */
#define GDB_INDEX_SYMBOL_STATIC_SHIFT 31
#define GDB_INDEX_SYMBOL_STATIC_MASK 1
The reason is:
Performance issue with .gdb_index and large numbers of shared libs
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14125
When .gdb_index is in use there isn't a bit that specifies GLOBAL_BLOCK vs
STATIC_BLOCK, so if something is in STATIC_BLOCK (say "int") it matches so
gdb will expand the symbol table, but the match doesn't take into account
the block kind. So gdb will proceed to expand one symbol table from every
objfile looking for "int" in GLOBAL_BLOCK, finding it, but not using it.
Only after that is done will GDB try STATIC_BLOCK. In a large enough app
(e.g., >1000 shared libs) this is painful.
Proposing and asking for pre-allocation:
DW_IDX_static = 6 = DW_FORM_flag_present = DIE's DW_AT_external is not present
DW_IDX_external = 7 = DW_FORM_flag_present = DIE's DW_AT_external is present
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If those new DW_IDX_* get allocated in a reasonable time GDB could already use
them, otherwise sending the patch below.
These symbols are both produced and consumed only by GDB, not by GCC.
Jan

Preallocation of the numbers has been denied by DWARF committee. Therefore
asking for approval of this patch in its DW_IDX_GNU_* posted form.

I'd suggest "internal" rather than "static". Otherwise the patch looks good.
