[LLVMdev] Dropping the DW_ prefix from names in dwarfdump

Hey guys,

Frederic is introducing the expression dumping support and in the interests
of tersity is skipping the "DW_" in every "DW_OP" (heck, we
could even skip
the "OP" given the context - nothing else textual can appear there,
right?)

Any thoughts on skipping the "DW_" (maybe even the AT/TAG/FORM too) in
the
rest of dwarfdump? (skipping the AT/TAG (FORM would be relatively easy I
think) would be a bit trickier, but still identifiable/solvable) I haven't
tried it to see how it looks/reads.

I think we should have a switchable level of verbosity. I think that the Darwin
dwarfdump utility could serve as an example (at least to fuel the discussion):
Here is Darwin's dwarfdump output with the default settings

I particularly like the inline location expressions.

I think it always depends on what you are debugging. When I’m interested whether
the encoding is correct, I think I’d prefer to have all these details in there,
even if they are redundant. When I’m debugging, e.g., the source location
associated with a function argument, I wouldn’t care about which Form is used to
encode the information.
