llvm dev - Apr 2021 - Is clang genned debuginfo really that huge

Hi,
Slightly weekendy offtopic on debug info and stacktraces as afterthought on
my fight with building clang on lowbie machine and how not to approach this
area.

Slightly neg example: golang.

In a RelWithDebInfo (-g -O2) build of Clang, over 90% of the final executable
size is DWARF information.
The percentage will be lower with a Debug build, but I don’t have an actual
number for that.
You can look at the sizes of ELF sections whose names start with .debug_ to see
for yourself.
