Subject: [Bug gdb/29563] New: gdb: support zstd for SHF_COMPRESSED debug sections
Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2022 20:02:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-29563-4717@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29563

            Bug ID: 29563
           Summary: gdb: support zstd for SHF_COMPRESSED debug sections
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: i at maskray dot me
  Target Milestone: ---

Zstandard is a "universal" compression algorithm which scales from
low-ratio-very-fast to high-ratio-pretty-slow.
The generic-abi proposal https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/satyPkuMisk
("Add new ch_type value: ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD") has been approved.

See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29397 for binutils feature
request.

gdb will need to support SHF_COMPRESSED (ch_type=ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD) .debug_*
sections in executables, shared objects, and (split DWARF) .dwo files.
