Hi, .debug_arange analysis shows that there's a lot of holes in .text. Turns out these are NOP runs (for alignment purposes, I guess). First, is it OK for the producer to leave NOP runs alone? If yes, dwarflint shouldn't warn about it, but then there is a problem of how to detect this. I think we can assume that the compiler actually emits literal "NOP" instructions for padding purposes (i.e. not one of these contraptions that look like they do something). But most of the time, we won't even see contents of .text, will we? We are dealing with stripped debuginfo-only files. Or are we going to do our debuginfo transformation business on full files? PM
