--- Comment #4 from Simon Marchi <simark at simark dot ca> ---
GDB goes through the DWARF info of all code objects to build some name index
(partial symtabs), such that if you type "break foo", it can quickly know w=
hich
compilation units contain a function or method called foo.  The solution to
avoid that is to use an index (DWARF4 .gdb_index, or DWARF5 .debug_names).=

Then, if debuginfod offered that, I could imagine GDB just downloading the
index section, which is small compared to the rest of the debug info.  And
then, when it needs to expand a compilation unit's debug info, it could
download just the portion of the .debug_* sections that it needs (again, if
debuginfod offered that).  I think it would be neat.
