That does help. I was confused because I was seeing InlinedSubroutines linking back to an abstract Subroutine, but without a corresponding concrete Subroutine. But according to the document, if all calls to the abstract Subroutine are inlined the concrete Subroutine is not included in the DWARF data, leaving only the abstract Subroutine and the InlinedSubroutines. That makes sense.
