the pubnames and pubtypes tables. LLDB can currently use this format
and a full spec is forthcoming and submission for standardization is planned.
A basic summary:
The dwarf accelerator tables are an indirect hash table optimized
for null lookup rather than access to known data. They are output into
an on-disk format that looks like this:
.-------------.
| HEADER |
|-------------|
| BUCKETS |
|-------------|
| HASHES |
|-------------|
| OFFSETS |
|-------------|
| DATA |
`-------------'
where the header contains a magic number, version, type of hash function,
the number of buckets, total number of hashes, and room for a special
struct of data and the length of that struct.
The buckets contain an index (e.g. 6) into the hashes array. The hashes
section contains all of the 32-bit hash values in contiguous memory, and
the offsets contain the offset into the data area for the particular
hash.
For a lookup example, we could hash a function name and take it modulo the
number of buckets giving us our bucket. From there we take the bucket value
as an index into the hashes table and look at each successive hash as long
as the hash value is still the same modulo result (bucket value) as earlier.
If we have a match we look at that same entry in the offsets table and
grab the offset in the data for our final match.

Don't assume APInt::getRawData() would hold target-aware endianness nor host-compliant endianness. rawdata[0] holds most lower i64, even on big endian host.
FIXME: Add a testcase for big endian target.
FIXME: Ditto on CompileUnit::addConstantFPValue() ?

.file filenumber "directory" "filename"
This removes one join+split of the directory+filename in MC internals. Because
bitcode files have independent fields for directory and filenames in debug info,
this patch may change the .o files written by existing .bc files.

file. Since it should only be used when necessary propagate it through
the backend code generation and tweak testcases accordingly.
This helps with code like in clang's test/CodeGen/debug-info-line.c where
we have multiple #line directives within a single lexical block and want
to generate only a single block that contains each file change.

Few weeks ago, llvm completely inverted the debug info graph. Earlier each debug info node used to keep track of its compile unit, now compile unit keeps track of important nodes. One impact of this change is that the global variable's do not have any context, which should be checked before deciding to use AT_specification DIE.

- On COFF the .lcomm directive has an alignment argument.
- On ELF we fall back to .local + .comm
Based on a patch by NAKAMURA Takumi.
Fixes PR9337, PR9483 and PR10128.

MDNodes graph structure such that compiler unit keeps track of important MDNodes and update dwarf writer to process mdnodes top-down instead of bottom up.
