Yeah, I understand.

Meanwhile I found a simple C test case without ignored functions

$ cat test1.c
asm("nop");
int main () 
{
  return 0;
}

$ gcc -g test1.c
$ readelf --debug-dump=decodedline a.out 
Contents of the .debug_line section:

CU: ./test1.c:
File name                            Line number    Starting address    View    Stmt
test1.c                                        5            0x401106               x
test1.c                                        3            0x401107               x
test1.c                                        4            0x40110b               x
test1.c                                        5            0x401110               x
test1.c                                        -            0x401112

even with the proposed patch, so I agree it is incomplete.

I tried the gdb test case and compile it with different LTO
options, but the gen_AT_string was always valid, in some
cases a lto debug section together with a couple .file <n>
directives was output before the .file 0.
So I'd like to use the file name from gen_AT_string, since
it's most of the time accurate, and avoids unnecessary confusion
on the readers of the produced debug info.

So I'd propose the attached patch instead.
Is it OK for trunk?
