Re: [PATCH] [dwarf2read] Fix crash when loading dwp files: calculate num_sections based on actual section indices, not just the number of sections.

Split DWARF solves a problem that doesn't exist on Darwin (macOS/iOS,

relocations in debug info that have to be processed by the linker. But
on Darwin, debug info is not processed by the linker at all, instead a
tool called dsymutil (cf. llvm/tools/dsymutil) serves a conceptually
similar task to dwp and archives the debug info from the .o files into
a .dSYM bundle, separate from the executable.

Ok, thanks to both of you for confirming. I think we are fine using the elf-specific function.
