I'd hope that in the very distant future all early DIEs would be "created" by the frontends (that is, dwarf2out.c wouldn't walk into parents/siblings so much).
Are you thinking that the front end would immediately call a debug hook for every block, local variable and such, or just for higher level entities?
I hoped we wouldn't need the limbo list at all ... that is, parent DIEs are always present when we create children. I think that should work in principle if the frontends would create DIEs while parsing.
So create the function DIE as soon as we see the declaration? That seems reasonable. Then that would be the point of early debug, not later at EOF.
Note that dwarf2out forces parent DIE creation in some cases but not in some others - it would be interesting to sort out which parent DIEs it thinks it cannot create when we create the DIE for a sibling. Maybe it's just poor ordering of early_global_decl calls?
Agreed. Jason
