Debug info for comdat functions


Hi!

Something not addressed yet in dwz and unfortunately without
linker or compiler help not 100% addressable is debug info for
comdat functions.

Consider attached testcase with comdat foo function, seems the
current linker behavior (well, tested with 2.21.53.0.1 ld.bfd)
is that for DW_TAG_subprogram with DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc
having section relative relocs against comdat functions
if the comdat text section has the same size in both object
files, then DW_AT_low_pc (and DW_AT_high_pc) attributes
in both CUs will point to the same range.
E.g. when compiling g++ -gdwarf-4 -o t9 t91.C t92.C, both
.text._Z3fooi sections are indentical one byte.
I think if the section content is identical, then what the
linker does is fine and perhaps dwz could just do something
with it later on (currently it doesn't consider DIEs with
DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc/DW_AT_ranges attributes for dup
removal).  If both .text._Z3fooi sections have different
sizes, then the linker will clear DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc,
which is also fine (compile e.g. t91.C with -O2 and t92.C with -O0).
I guess most debug info consumers will ignore the 0..0 range
and dwz could be tought to do something about those DW_TAG_subprogram
nodes too (what exactly?  Drop DW_AT_{low_pc,high_pc,ranges} attribute
from them, drop all DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine/DW_TAG_lexical_block
children (perhaps all children?) of them, rewrite .debug_loc section
if some portion of it was only referenced by to be removed DIEs?).

The problematic case (I'd say a linker bug) is when the .text._Z3fooi
sections have the same size, but different content (compiled with
different options, but by lack of luck happened to have the same size).
Tested by hacking up t91.s and t92.s both built with -O2 to have different,
but same sized, instructions in .text._Z3fooi.  IMHO in that case
will debug info consumers see wrong debug info and dwz can't guess what
DIE describes the actual content and what DIE describes something
that has been removed.

For the libreoffice test files I have (and libstdc++.so) I've quickly
hacked up a guess how much could be saved by handling the comdats
in dwz - the numbers are the size of DW_TAG_subprogram DIE and all its
children if the same values of both DW_AT_low_pc/DW_AT_high_pc attributes
were already seen in another DIE.  Possible .debug_loc saving isn't
accounted for, on the other side cost of DW_TAG_imported_unit,
DW_TAG_partial_unit and/or keeping around a small portion of the
DW_TAG_subprogram die for 0..0 ranges isn't in either.
