Hi,

with current GCC trunk (with the GCC patch above) binutils readelf DWARF-5
patch being prepared outputs:

 The File name Table (offset 0x30):
  Entry	Name	Dir
  0	(indirect line string, offset: 0x0): /home/jkratoch/t/classic.C	0
  1	(indirect line string, offset: 0x11): classic.C	1

Please see the tabs there.

After this GCC patch below readelf would output:

 The File name Table (offset 0x30):
  Entry	Dir	Name
  0	0	(indirect line string, offset: 0x0): /home/jkratoch/t/classic.C
  1	1	(indirect line string, offset: 0x11): classic.C

That 'indirect line string' may get removed, that is irrelevant for this mail.

I could reorder that in readelf but I find it easier to do in GCC.
Also binutils has not switched to C++ yet so I have found the reordering not
trivial to do in readelf itself.

The readelf patch being prepared - not yet submitted:
	https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/readelf-dwarf5.patch

OK for GCC trunk?

Sorry I have not regression tested it, I would handle that before a check-in.


Thanks,

Dunno, will defer to Jason.  I'd think that reordering for improved
readability should be readelf's job, and that the current order better
matches the DWARF4 order.  But it isn't a big deal for me.
Some other producer might emit it in a different order though...
E.g. readelf could print each entry in 2 passes, first prints selected
subset of DW_LCNT_* and the other pass prints the remaining ones.
