We've had many requests to elide some classes of entries in backtraces - like to mirror the
Xcode display I mentioned previously. Most of these requests don't depend on the functions

"marked artificial" -> elided anyway.

Yes.
Having done a little further research... Artificial won't work for
general cases anyway, since it's restricted to inline code (for some
reason) on gcc and clang. I wonder why, since for a function the only
real effect is to emit DW_AT_artificial (AFAIK). The restriction seems
arbitrary and DWARF wouldn't mind.. But the compilers do, so it seems
out anyway.
DW_AT_trampoline isn't supported by llvm. As I read the description of
DW_AT_trampoline, its more like a hardcoded vector (a->b), so not useful
for cases like objc_msgSend, where you don't know the destination a priori.
If I look at the DWARF spec, I don't see any other way to mark a
function as "boring". I still think this would be a good thing, as this
would be useful for other debuggers as well, which could instantly work.
Also a lot of code in the lldb Trampoline classes, for step-in and
step-out could probably just be removed.
Ciao
