I have already updated the Wiki in the meantime based on new information from this list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DebugInfoStandardization#Detailed_Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Only some of Linux distributions use existing Fedora DWZ (known are Fedora/CentOS/RHEL, SuSE OSes, OpenMandriva, maybe others?). [...] Debian and Ubuntu use neither -fdebug-types-section nor DWZ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The tool is not easily maintained, I did not mention it there but it is true there are some longterm unfixed bugs in DWZ so that it gives up on optimization of many builds: error: Allocatable section after non-allocatable ones https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24251#c10 error: Couldn't find DIE referenced by DW_AT_abstract_origin (maybe DWZ error or maybe compiler error: Unknown DWARF DW_OP_255) Thanks, Jan _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
