Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Handle foreign type units in .debug_names
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:19:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316232042.368080-1-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)

From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

Foreign type units is a fancy name for type units in .dwo files.

As we stand, in the presence of foreign type units, we produce bogus
indexes (both .gdb_index and .debug_names).  So I think the minimum
would be to refuse creating indexes if there are foreign type units.
However, this series adds support for writing them to .debug_name and
reading them back.

For .gdb_index, the series just makes GDB refuse to create an index in
that case.

Note that this series depends on the enumerate series here:
