That's certainly possible - add a finish_compilation_unit debug hook.
I'll think about that for 4.8.

Unfortunately they are not "reachable" from anything but the
deferred_asm_name list.  So it would mean another debug hook.

Types affected by this are types not referenced from any object/function
that is being output as LTO bytecode (and the type will not be output
as LTO bytecode either, so at LTO time we'd not generate debuginfo for
it either).  It's basically completely "unused" types that are affected.

I suppose that's indeed the easiest fix - all "important" types should
have been assigned an assembler name by free-lang-data.  One issue
is that free-lang-data (and its assembler name assigning code) is not
run if -flto is not enabled ...

So I suppose for the 4.7 branch we'd go with

Index: dwarf2out.c

        {
          add_linkage_attr (node->die, decl);
          move_linkage_attr (node->die);

and for trunk change two things - make sure the assembler-name assigning
piece of free-lang-data runs unconditionally and a debug hook is added
so we can output debuginfo dependent on langhooks.

I am going to test the above and install it on trunk and the branch
for now to get into 4.7.1.

Thanks,
Richard.
