I think that it would also be wise to include the binutils project (binut...@sourceware.org) as they are responsible for the GNU Assembler (gas). > I propose to add a new optional clause to the .file directive, like so: > > .file filenumber [ "directory" ] "path" [ md5 checksum ] > > where md5 is a keyword and checksum is the integer checksum, > typically expressed as a hex 128-bit value. > > If all .file directives provide an md5 checksum, then the assembler > will put that checksum into the DWARF 5 file table. If there are discrepancies in the md5 checksums, what should the assembler do ?
