llvm dev - Jun 2012 - [LLVMdev] debug info question

Are there any plans to support generation of DWARF DIEs needed for languages 
other than C, C++, and Obj-C?  For example, ADA would need more capability and 
so would several other "experimental" new languages that use LLVM.

Just as one simple example, the "subrange" type can be used with
variables in
many languages.  Right now, LLVM only supports "subrange" in the
context of an
array index, but not as a first class type.

I expect it will just be expanded as needed.

Ciao, Duncan.
