I think we need to be careful with terminology here (gdb sometimes
doesn't make this easy though).
There's per_cu and there's per_cu->cu.
per_cu (i.e. struct dwarf2_per_cu_data) does not get flushed or aged.
per_cu->cu (i.e. struct dwarf2_cu) does.

In your case did a struct dwarf2_per_cu_data disappear, or was it per_cu->cu?

Probably the per_cu->cu. The terminology and the many uses of the same or similar names make remembering the details difficult.

I have no doubt there are bugs in this area, btw.

Yup.
