Hi - The GCC 7 release notes state that "Version 5 of the DWARF debugging information standard is supported": https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-7/changes.html However, the GCC 7 and GCC 8 docs still state that "DWARF Version 5 is only experimental": - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-7.4.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.2.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options That language goes back as far as GCC 5 though: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.4.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options This leaves me unsure whether DWARF 5 is supported in GCC 7 and 8, or experimental. Could someone knowledgable please clarify whether DWARF 5 is really supported in GCC 8, in the sense that it is reasonable to enable it when building binaries for production or release? The debug info size savings I observe when enabling it are significant enough that I'd really like to use it if possible. Thank you, Andrew
