URL: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/011e0604ebc9d85db3585ebb2f63df465f726417 DIFF: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/011e0604ebc9d85db3585ebb2f63df465f726417.diff LOG: Add DWARF string debug to clang release notes. D12353 added inline strings to the DWARF info produced by clang. This turns out to break some debugging software that assumes that a DW_TAG_variable *must* come with a DW_AT_name. Add a release note to broadcast this change.
