Hi Jim,
: As a note, I just today committed a patch to GDB to remove duplicate type
: info when we read in the DWARF2 info (or at least, the majority. You could
: probably improve upon what i've done at a horrendous cost in memory and
: performance, and gain 3-4% more memory savings), which we weren't doing
: before. I consider this a stopgap until LD does the same type of thing.
Is this improvement to LD something that is simple to do ? If so I
would be interested in trying to do it myself, especially if you could
give me some pointers as to what needs to be done.
Cheers
Nick
