--- Comment #5 from Tom de Vries <vries at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In the dwarf 5 standard I read:
...
F.2.3
Contents of the Split DWARF Object Files
The split DWARF object files each contain the following sections:
.debug_abbrev.dwo
.debug_info.dwo (for the compilation unit)
.debug_info.dwo (one COMDAT section for each type unit)
.debug_loclists.dwo
.debug_line.dwo
.debug_macro.dwo
.debug_rnglists.dwo
.debug_str_offsets.dwo
.debug_str.dwo
...
so that seems to confirm that the gcc output is in fact standard conformant.
One problem though is that dwp, while supporting multiple .debug_types.dwo
sections doesn't seem to support multiple debug_info.dwo sections.
Likewise gdb, but that is being fixed atm. Fixing dwp shouldn't be too
difficult though, I guess.
AFAIU, both gdb and dwp in current shape wouldn't have any problems if a single
.debug_info.dwo section would be emitted by gcc.
