To be clear, a fair amount of DWARF generation is already done in the
compiler (bulk of the line table, subprogram DIEs and inline DIEs, debug
ranges, etc).
As far as I know, there are no near term plans (at least within the
compiler+runtime team) to work on moving other bits of DWARF generation
Hello Than,
Are there plans to implement remaining pieces (I'm interested
ing moving DWARF generation from linker to compiler) for 1.17, or is the
project considered done for now?
Best,
Misha.

To add to what Ian mentioned:
Many of the measures outlined in https://golang.org/s/better-linker have
been implemented at this point. It was a multi-person effort, several
members of the Go compiler/runtime team were involved (Jeremy, Cherry,
Austin, and myself).
The new indexed object file for
As an aside, for those who do not know, Ian wrote the Gold linker, which
sped up linking by a factor of 100.

And what is still to come?
