In CodeGen/DwarfWriter.cpp's EmitDebugLine file, these lines are
causing havoc on Mac OS X systems:
// If there are no lines to emit (such as when we're using .loc
directives
// to emit .debug_line information) don't emit a .debug_line
header.
if (SectionSourceLines.empty())
return;
Basically, if there's a file with only data in it, we still need the
debug_line prologue generated.

By removing the "early exit" from EmitDebugLine, I got LLVM to
generate this data. However, Dan pointed out that assemblers that use
the ".loc" directive can't have their debug_line generated by the
compiler. My suggestion was to have a flag that indicated that ".loc"
was used. If it was, then we would exit out of the EmitDebugLine
method early. Something like so:
// If there are no lines to emit (such as when we're using .loc
directives
// to emit .debug_line information) don't emit a .debug_line
header.
if (LocDirectiveUsed())
return;
Dan wasn't sure if this would work in all cases. We don't have a Linux
box to test this on. Does this sound like a good idea? Those who work
with Linux or other OSes, would this idea break things for you?

Those who work > with Linux or other OSes, would this idea break things for you?I've now tested how GCC does this on Ubuntu, at least. It uses .loc and does not emit a separate .debug_line prologue. It apparently assumes that the .file numbers will directly correspond with file indicies in the debug line section, suitable for use with DW_AT_decl_file. So I think the way to fix this is to make it dependent on whether the target uses .loc or not. Something like this: // If the target is using .loc/.file, the assembler will be emitting // the .debug_line table automatically. if (TAI->hasDotLocAndDotFile()) return; Dan

So it would get rid of the if-statement altogether. However, Dan came up with a better solution. :-)>> By removing the "early exit" from EmitDebugLine, I got LLVM to >> generate this data.
