Reducing DWARF debuginfo size

Presenters: Cary Coutant and Mark Wielaard

Generating, linking, reading and storing DWARF debuginfo take significant resources, time and space. �We want to discuss some efforts that have recently been done to reduce some of that in the compiler, linker, package manager and tools, like debuggers, that use the DWARF debug information. �We are interested in discussing efforts that worked, the various tradeoffs, efforts that didn't produce significant results and ideas for future DWARF reduction work and/or standardization.
