Lu" To: Binutils , GDB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-SW-Source: 2015-03/txt/msg00026.txt.bz2 I am working on SHF_COMPRESSED support: http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.sheader.html We already have .zdebug* sections, which aren't compatible with SHF_COMPRESSED scheme due to missing compression header. What section names should we use for SHF_COMPRESSED debug sections. Using .debug* or .zdebug* will break existing tools. I am thinking .zlibdebug* or ..Zdebug*. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- H.J.
