I'd like to create a new "fission" branch on the GIT mirror at ssh://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git. This branch will host the changes that Sterling and I will be making to support splitting the debug info into separate files -- and, as a byproduct, fixing the pubnames and pubtypes tables so they can be used to create a gdb index. A while ago, I posted a summary of the Fission project on the GCC wiki:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission I expect we'll be ready to merge our work into trunk when Stage 1 opens for GCC 4.8. Any objections? Is it OK to make a git-only branch? -cary
