Bug ID: 30727
Summary: [gdb/symtab] Maintenance command to reverse DIE
reading order
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: symtab
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
It could be useful to read a CU in reverse top-level DIE order, turning
backward references into forward references and vice versa.
Likewise for CU reading order, turning backward inter-CU references into
forward inter-CU references.

I may not be understanding properly, but in general I think
it's very difficult or impossible to read DIEs in reverse order.
When starting from the end there is no indication where a DIE begins.

My idea was to do a preliminary scan that finds the dies, stores the offsets in
a list in reverse order, and use that as the iteration order.
