It's a matter of degree:
- Some types go missing, but due to the dllimport mechanism mentioned, all the
important ones are retained,
- Switching to -fstandalone-debug increases the amount of DWARF by ~50% in
experiments I've run, which for a {single-file-recompile, link,
load-into-debugger} round trip will translate to an almost 50% increase in
round-trip-time. (What with DWARF being the major part of linking and
debugger-loading).
Thus the status quo (-fno-standalone-debug and closed-source libraries) hasn't
been conceptually sounds, but it's given a "good enough" debugging experience
without major round-trip-time penalty.
