Hello Ben,
An array type that refers to a vector or matrix type, shall be
denoted with DW_AT_tensor whose integer constant, will specify the
kind of tensor it is. The default type of tensor shall be the kind
used by the vector registers in the target architecture.
Table

AFAIK the main reason to annotate a subprogram with a calling convention
is so that a debugger can manufacture a call correctly, in response to a
user command.
Right - and generally the debugger would expect to call this function using the
ABI - except that with internalized functions (either

Hello,
What would be the recommended way to model variables that are allocated to
different address spaces?
I found DW_OPT_xderef for dereferencing address-space qualified pointers but
the resulting memory location description wouldn’t have an address-space
qualifier.
I found
