Description Francesco Riosa 2012-01-25 00:44:39 UTC

Created attachment 299793 [details]
debugedit-5.3.5-DWARF-4.patch

redhat bug and patch (same bug title)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707677

dwarf-4 has some improvments, notable debug size (about 10%, from 21GB to 19GB)
and better behaviour when programs are compiled with "-O3 -ggdb -gdwarf-4 -fvar-tracking-assignments"

would be nice to have this in portage, this bug is "Last Closed: 2011-05-26 03:24:42" @ redhat, so it's probably tested

the attached patch apply to gentoo debugedit but _it's_slightly_modified_ from the original one.
