             Bug #: 15457
           Summary: GAS should generate DW_FORM_strp when emitting debug
                    info
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


This is a clone from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57238

On Linux/x86_64

  gcc -c -gdwarf-4 t.c

generates

  DW_AT_comp_dir    : (indirect string, offset: 0x4e): /tmp

but "gcc -c -g t.s" generates

  DW_AT_comp_dir    : /tmp

which the linker can't merge for multiple TUs, and which can consume quite a
bit of space.
