Hi.

This patch adds various dwarf4 elements, plus DW_AT_GNU_odr_signature,
to include/dwarf2.h.

Ok to check in?

[I have a gdb patch that's ready to go in to support "comdat types".
And this will also be needed for the gcc side, which is currently
on the dwarf4 branch.]

2009-07-15  Doug Evans  <dje@google.com>
	    Cary Coutant  <ccoutant@google.com>

	* dwarf2.h (enum dwarf_tag): Add DW_TAG_type_unit.
	(enum dwarf_form): Add DW_FORM_sec_offset, DW_FORM_exprloc,
	DW_FORM_flag_present, DW_FORM_sig8.
	(enum dwarf_attribute): Add DW_AT_signature, DW_AT_GNU_odr_signature.

Hi.
I checked this into both gcc/binutils trees, without DW_AT_GNU_odr_signature.
[approved by Ian off-list]

Should this file even be called dwarf2.h any more?

DWARF-2 was so different from DWARF-1, it was essentially a new
format, so it made sense at the time. DWARF-3 and DWARF-4 are just
mostly-compatible extensions of DWARF-2, and updating the name for
each new revision would only be counterproductive. Just think of it as
"dwarf2+.h".

Maybe this patch should be split into two then.

I would like to ask that all new GNU extensions be documented in
dwarf2.h.  The existing extensions are already the subject of some
bafflement; I would like to end this practice.

I think my ideal form for this would be a long comment in the style of
the rest of the DWARF standard -- something that someone already
familiar with DWARF could readily read and understand.
