While looking to add support for placing singular types (types that will
only be emitted in one place (such as attached to a strong vtable or
explicit template instantiation definition)) not in type units (since
type units have overhead) I stumbled across that change causing an
increase in pubtypes.
Turns out we were missing some types from type units if they were only
referenced from other type units and not from the debug_info section.
This fixes that, following GCC's line of describing the offset of such
entities as the CU die (since there's no compile unit-relative offset
that would describe such an entity - they aren't in the CU). Also like
GCC, this change prefers to describe the type stub within the CU rather
than the "just use the CU offset" fallback where possible. This may give
the DWARF consumer some opportunity to find the extra info in the type
stub - though I'm not sure GDB does anything with this currently.
The size of the pubnames/pubtypes sections now match exactly with or
without type units enabled.
This nearly triples (+189%) the pubtypes section for a clang self-host
and grows pubnames by 0.07% (without compression). For a total of 8%
increase in debug info sections of the objects of a Split DWARF build
when using type units.
