BACKGROUND: References are to DWARF5 unless otherwise indicated.
If a split-full CU uses DW_FORM_rnglistx is a DW_AT_rnglists_base required? Apparently not, though in cases I have seen in object files are instances of a single rnglist in .debug_rnglists.dwo . The operative assumption is consumers will simply assume zero as the (missing) DW_AT_rnglists_base. Seen in llvm and gcc. The intent of this proposal is to get clarity. An alternative version could state If a Split Full Compilation Unit refers to .debug_rnglists.dwo with DW_FORM_rnglistx the CU DIE must have a DW_AT_rnglists_base attribute. PROPOSAL: At the end Sec F.1 Overview just before Table F.1: If a Split Full Compilation Unit refers to .debug_rnglists.dwo with DW_FORM_rnglistx and the correct DW_AT_rnglists_base would be zero, the DW_AT_rnglists_base may be omitted.
