Dear all,
During our work on debugging support of compute workloads on AMDGPU[1],
we (at AMD) have been seeing two cases regarding description of
bitfields in DWARF for which we do not find definitive answers in the
DWARF documentation. For those cases, when experiencing with usual CPU
targets we

Hi,
Thanks for the comments.
I gave additional examples in another reply[1] which I think will help
clarify the difficulty I am seeing. The core of the issue is that even
if different types have identical memory layouts, they can be handled
differently by our ABI. The DWARF description of such
